Situated in the Bordeaux appellation of Pauillac, 5th growth Château Haut Batailley is planted to predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines. The 2019 is described by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW as follows, "A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, the 2019 Haut-Batailley is deep garnet-purple colored. It has a pretty, floral nose with hints of lilacs and lavender over a core of warm cassis, blackberry pie, and wild blueberries with suggestions of chocolate cherries and truffles. Medium-bodied, the palate sings of juicy red and black fruits with a lively backbone and plush tannins, finishing long and perfumed."
