It's another deeply hued, classic Pauillac in the vintage that has wonderful purity as well as loads of ripe blackberry and currant fruits, medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful aromas and flavors of graphite, cedarwood, and tobacco, building yet polished tannins, background oak, and a great finish. This pure, classic Pauillac needs 7-8 years of bottle age (it will certainly offer pleasure earlier) and will drink fabulously well for over two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94pts Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is intense and concentrated with beautifully smoked grilled oak notes, clear, precise cassis, blackberry, liquorice and dark chocolate, and a slow, slate finish.

The name is derived from the battle (\"bataille\") that took place where the chateau and vineyard are today during the 100-years war around 1453. In this battle, the French re-conquered the neighbouring Chateau Latour from the English, a crucial point for ending the 300 year long reign of the English in Aquitaine. In the 16th century, the first vines were planted on these historical grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Consortium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248469201260,"sku":"607921036462","price":89.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/chateau-batailley-pauillac-2018-750ml-574847.webp?v=1787714782","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/chateau-batailley-pauillac-2018-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
