Chateau Batailley

The name Batailley derives from the "battle" that raged on this land around 1453 during the Hundred Years' War, where the eponymous château and its vineyards are now located. In this battle, the French recaptured the neighboring Château Latour from the English. It was a decisive moment in the final end of 300 years of English rule in Aquitaine. Exactly one hundred years later, in the 16th century, the first vines were planted in this historic soil. The 5-hectare park of Château Batailley was designed in 1850 by Barillet-Deschamps, architects to Napoleon III. In 1855, Batailley wines were granted Grand Cru Classé status under Napoleon's classification system.

Château Batailley —
Grand Cru Classé from the heart of Pauillac

The name Château Batailley carries history within it: On this land in the Médoc, one of the last battles of the Hundred Years' War raged around 1453, in which France recaptured the neighboring Château Latour from the English—thus ending three centuries of English rule over Aquitaine. Around a hundred years later, in the 16th century, the first vines were planted here. The land on which history was written has borne wine ever since.

The estate's five-hectare park was designed in 1850 by Barillet-Deschamps, the garden architect of Napoleon III. Five years later, in the famous Bordeaux classification of 1855, Batailley's wines were awarded the rank of Grand Cru Classé — a classification that remains to this day and confirms the character of this Pauillac site.

The wines of Château Batailley showcase what makes Pauillac special: Cabernet Sauvignon on gravelly soils, structured and age-worthy, with the typical density of the Left Bank. No flashy style, but classic Médoc elegance — for red wine lovers who value depth over mere pleasingness.
