Château Batailley 2005
750 ml Cabernet Sauvignon 73%, Merlot 23%, Cabernet Franc 2%, Petit Verdot 2% Bordeaux, France 2005
Château Batailley 2005 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc (Pauillac, France), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 21-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, roast chicken, roast pork. No merchant in this catalogue lists it now; Abingdon Fine Wine last did on 2026-10-21.
