Chateau Batailley Pauillac 5th Cru 2020

Château Batailley Pauillac 5th Cru 2020 is a fine red wine from the famous Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France. This wine is classified as a 5th Cru Classé, placing it among the recognized wines of the historic 1855 Bordeaux classification. The wine is primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon, which is the dominant grape in Pauillac, but it also contains Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The 2020 vintage is known for its depth and finesse. The wine presents an intense ruby ​​red color and offers complex aromas of dark berries such as blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by delicate notes of tobacco, cedar and spices. There are also subtle hints of dark chocolate and a light earthy minerality.

The palate of Château Batailley 2020 is full-bodied with powerful but elegantly integrated tannins, giving the wine an impressive structure and good aging potential. There is a harmonious balance between the intensity of the fruit, acidity and the barrel notes derived from the maturation in French oak barrels, which add nuances of vanilla and toasted wood. The finish is long and persistent, making this a remarkable experience now, but also one that can develop further over time.

The wine is an excellent choice for dishes with red meat, game, lamb and mature cheeses.
