Chateau Batailley is one of the oldest Estates in Pauillac. Its name goes back to the last battle of the Hundred Years' War in Medoc, which took place on the plateau that descends to Chateau Latour. The house, which was remodeled in the XVIIIth century, is surrounded by a beautiful park of six hectares, designed by the famous Barillet Deschamps. The area under vine is 58 hectares and the average age of the vines is 40 years. The vineyard faces the Chateau on a beautiful gravel plateau. This great soil of thin gravel has natural drainage, which makes it perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The vines are pruned according to the double Guyot method and the vines are cultivated according to sustainable viticulture with reduced spraying, de-leafing, cropping thinning, and strict control of yields on a plot-by-plot basis.
The vineyards of Batailley today comprise about 60 hectares, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. Batailley is the flagship of the family Castéja and Borie-Manoux. The name is derived from a battle fought on this territory during the 100-year war in the 14th century. Batailley's wine is an intensive Pauillac typically with blackcurrant and a robust body. The wine continues to obtain very high rankings and recommendations from the international wine press.
