Château Batailley, Pauillac, AOC, 5ème Grand Cru Classé en Médoc, dry, red, 0.75L

Château Batailley is Borie-Manoux’s and the Castéja-family’s flagship. The name comes 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 and blood soaked grounds.
