Château Batailley is a Fifth Growth of the 1855 classification in Pauillac, named for a battle fought here during the Hundred Years War. Owned by the Casteja family, it is one of the most consistently well-priced classed growths in the Médoc, and one of the most traditional. Cabernet Sauvignon leads on classic Pauillac gravel, giving cedar, blackcurrant and real structure. Old-fashioned in the finest sense, and built for the cellar.
