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
La tenuta fece parte di Château Batailley fino al suo acquisto da parte dei fratelli François e Marcel Borie, nel 1932. Nel 1942 venne allora divisa in due proprietà, per via di contese ereditarie. La porzione più piccola, che non include lo Château Batailley, divenne di proprietà di François Borie, che incrementò i suoi vigneti acquisendone da Château Duhart-Milon, mentre gestiva anche lo Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. A seguito della sua morte, nel 1953, la proprietà passò a sua figlia Françoise de Brest-Borie, mentre era amministrata da suo fratello, e proprietario di Ducru-Beaucaillou, Jean-Eugène Borie. La tenuta è ancora gestita dalla famiglia Borie che possiede anche Ducru-Beaucaillou e Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. L’area a vigneto si estende per 22 ettari (54 acri) piantati per il 65% a Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% a Merlot, e 10% a Cabernet Franc.
