Petit Batailley, 33250 Pauillac, France

The Château Haut-Batailley 2016, a 5th Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, displays a deep ruby red color. On the nose, it unfolds intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedarwood, and fresh tobacco, rounded out by floral nuances.On the palate, it is dense and well-balanced, with ripe tannins and notes of dark fruit, coffee, and delicate spices. The long and harmonious finish suggests excellent ageing potential.The blend is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure, depth, and black fruit with cedar tones, while Merlot adds suppleness and round tannins.The 2016 vintage is regarded as outstanding in Bordeaux, shaped by ideal weather conditions that led to perfectly ripened grapes.Located in the southern part of the Pauillac appellation, Château Haut-Batailley is known for producing elegant and finely structured wines.
