Lions de Batailley, Pauillac

“Lions de Batailley” is the second wine of Château Batailley and draws its name from the two Lions who guard the gates of Château Batailley’s main entrance.

Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé of the classification of 1855, is the Castéja family’s and Borie-Manoux’s flagship. It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc.

Lions de Batailey comes mainly from young vines, as well as from wines issued from non-associated plots in the final Grand Vin blend.

Lions de Batailley is produced from a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, a grape varietal which grows well on Batailley’s gravel soil. Balanced, silky tannins with acidity and length. It is a wine that drinks easily young, but will also age well.

“The blackcurrant and blueberry aromas pop out of the glass. Medium to full body, linear and refined tannins and a currant, coffee and smoke aftertaste. Second wine of Batailley. Try after 2022” – James Suckling
