Merchant's description

Château Batailley is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, with a rich history and long-standing winemaking legacy. The estate is currently owned by Borie-Manoux, the négociant firm led by Denise and Emile Castèja. The château’s 2008 Grand Vin is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It displays a classic deep ruby-red colour, excellent structure and pronounced blackcurrant overtones. Drinking perfectly now.
