Chateau Haut-Batailley Pauillac Verso

The grand vin château Haut-Batailley is a beauty and is comprised of 59% cabernet sauvignon and 41% merlot brought up in 60% new french oak. It’s an attractive, elegantly styled wine that has lots of juicy merlot notes of black cherries, graphite, scorched earth, and spice. Rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and with terrific purity on the palate, this brilliant Pauillac is going to be approachable in just a few years and will evolve gracefully. Fresh and driven, opening with a piercing iron note that is quickly met by a core of racy cassis and damson plum flavors. Everything extends nicely through the pure finish. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Cabernet Franc.
