Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting at the château, the 2000 Batailley displayed youthful vigor on the nose with boysenberry and damson fruit, incense and iodine. As I remarked when I last tasted this in 2011, there is an opulence here that this estate rarely produced up until this period. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin; this bottle is more backward than others, with firm tannin providing sturdy backbone. It remains a "burly" Pauillac for the vintage, and it is certainly masculine in style. Then again, that is a leitmotif of the millennial vintage. As such, I can envisage this mellowing in four to six year's time, whereupon it will have the substance to give drinking pleasure over many years. Tasted April 2016.

Château Batailley
Historiquement, ce domaine faisait partie du Château Batailley jusqu’à son rachat en 1932 par les frères François et Marcel Borie. Afin d’éviter des problèmes liés à l’héritage, il fut scindé en deux en 1942. La partie la plus petite, qui ne comportait pas le château, a été reprise par François Borie qui a augmenté la superficie de son vignoble en acquérant des terres provenant du Château Duhart-Milon (tout en gérant le Château Ducru-Beaucaillou). Après son décès en 1953, sa fille Françoise de Brest-Borie a hérité de la propriété, mais la gestion de celle-ci a été assurée par le frère de Françoise, Jean-Eugène Borie, propriétaire de Ducru-Beaucaillou. Le domaine est toujours administré par la famille Borie, qui possède par ailleurs Ducru-Beaucaillou et Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Le vignoble s’étend sur 22 hectares plantés à hauteur de 65% de cabernet sauvignon, de merlot (25%) et de cabernet franc (10%).
