A challenging vintage marked by climatic hazards, 2017 was the year that will have subjected Château Haut-Batailley's vines to the test of water stress and hot late spring temperatures that lasted into early summer. This wine resulted from extreme dedication to the vineyards by the Château Haut-Batailley team and is a brilliant blend between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The purity and intensity of the fruit, the very toasty notes imparted by wood aging, and the olfactory panoply that seduces with its great expressiveness, reveals a superb texture, worthy of a Pauillac.

Showcasing a beautiful deep colour, this Pauillac wine reveals fruity aromas (black fruits) as well as utterly elegant tannins. The alluring finish is persistent and smooth.

The story

Château Haut-Batailley marks the entrance into the vineyard of Pauillac with the iconic Tour l'Aspic (Aspic tower) that dominates the estate. The estate is a classified growth, included in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The actual vineyard of Château Haut-Batailley was defined in 1942 when the estate was divided into two separate properties (Batailley and Haut-Batailley).

In 2017, a new and exciting chapter under the Cazes family of Châteaux Lynch-Bages and Ormes de Pez began!

The vineyard
The vineyard extends over 41 hectares on soils of deep Garonne gravel.

22 hectares are currently in production. In 2017, when the Cazes family took over, 19 hectares of land with planting rights within AOC Pauillac had not been planted (they were never reinstated after Phylloxera).

One year later, following an in-depth study of the terroirs, an extensive planting program was carried out. The vineyard's total surface has doubled in only three years, from 22 to 41 hectares.

The vines are located on the southern part of the Pauillac appellation, bordering Saint-Julien. Particularly representative of the Pauillac appellation, grapes are currently Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

Enhancing biodiversity and agroforestry is at the core of our contribution to nature. In 2022, 14 different varieties of over 910 trees and shrubs were planted in the heart of the vineyard.

The wines
Château Haut-Batailley is a harmonious, elegant wine with a fine tannic structure and will develop even more complexity and depth over time.

Haut-Batailley Verso the second wine of the property, was launched by the Cazes family. It offers notes of black fruit, displays freshness, aromatic depth and elegance, and can be enjoyed from its early years onward.
