Wine Advocate 93 Points
Château Haut-Batailley 2021 displays elegance, aromatic freshness and remarkable tannic presence. Cabernet dominant, with savoury black fruits and a mineral-driven finish giving the Pauillac character. Beautifully balanced with the elegant style that is the signature of the property.
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).
