Chateau Batailley Pauillac 5ème Cru 2007

巴特利莊園紅酒

Grand Cru Classé AOC Pauillac

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

It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. The name is derived from the battle („bataille“) - that took place where the chateau and vineyard are today - during the 100-years war in the in 1452. In this battle, the French re-conquered the neighbouring Chateau Latour from the English, a crucial point in the history of Aquitaine. A few years later the first vines were planted on this historical and blood soaked grounds. Chateau Batailley’s garden was designed by Barillet-Deschamps, Napoleon III’s garden architect. In 1855 Napoleon III created the classification for the Grands Crus Classés of the Medoc. And Batailley was knighted Grand Cru.

Batailley is an intensive typical Pauillac, with Cassis and very good structure. Very stable quality across the vintages due to the very old Wines.

Balailley酒莊是1855年第五大級酒莊，是Castéja's和Borie-Manoux的旗艦。

這是梅多克最古老的莊園之一。這個名字來源於戰爭（“巴塔耶”） - 發生在今天的城堡和葡萄園，在1452年的100年戰爭中。在這場戰鬥中，法國人重新征服了鄰國拉圖堡英語是阿基坦歷史上的一個關鍵點。幾年之後，第一批葡萄種植在這個歷史悠久，血淋淋的土地上。巴塔利（Chateau Batailley）的花園由拿破崙三世（Napoleon III）的花園建築師巴里勒 - 德尚（Barillet-Deschamps）設計。 1855年，拿破崙三世創立了梅多克的“大特級”的分類。而巴塔利則被冠以Grand Cru。

Batailley是一個密集的典型的波亞克，與卡西斯和非常好的結構。由於非常陳舊的葡萄酒，所以葡萄酒的質量非常穩定。

Tasting Notes 酒評	Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. An impressive showing of Batailley, this is the best bottle that I have encountered. It is rather closed and introspective on the nose with touches of mulberry, wild strawberry and gravel. Fine definition, opening up all the time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft entry, fine tannins, lovely caressing texture, the Merlot counterbalancing the austere finish. This is very impressive.
