The name "Batailley" would come from the "Battle" which took place in 1453 between the French and the English on the lands of the future domain; with the reconquest of Château Latour by the French, this year saw the end of the Hundred Years War. Château Batailley is one of the oldest residences in the town of Pauillac. Vines have been planted on this land rich in history since the 17th century. In the 18th century, three brothers and sisters of the Saint-Martin family, originally from Pauillac, acquired the estate.
In 1791, the two sisters sold their shares to Guillaume Pécholier, a Bordeaux wine merchant. In 1816, Daniel Guestier, from the trading company Barton & Guestier, bought the Château, modernized it, increased the surface area of the vineyard and improved the quality of the wine. His son succeeded him in 1847. It is the Guestier family who would have asked Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps, landscape architect of Napoleon III, to design the 6-hectare park. In 1866, the Parisian banker Constant Halphen acquired the property.
In 1855, Château Batailley was classified in the Fifth Grand Cru category of the Médoc, thanks in particular to the improvements made by Daniel Guestier. The Classification of the Médoc was set up at the request of Napoleon III by the wine merchants of Bordeaux within the framework of the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1855. It was developed according to the value of the wines, but also the reputation of the Châteaux.

Our winemaking "style" is solely determined by this place or terrior we call "Paradigm." Winemaking is agriculture when you own your vineyards and are able to farm them to promote the very best Earth will give you. All of our selections of wines are made from five varietals on the estate. Every wine is 100% farmed and grown by us.
Complexity in our wines supported by luscious fruit and acidity is our hallmark. Our efforts during harvest and barrel cellaring concentrate on maintaining the freshness from the first day we handpicked each vineyard block. Simple winemaking protocols are employed while crucial “timing” oriented winemaking decisions rule each day.
Dark Cabernet color with beautiful aromas of black cherry, cassis, plus 5-spice, vanilla. Big, ripe and mouthcoating across the palate. The flavors are similar to the aromas with ripe fruit, berry/cherry pie, moderate tannins, and nice length. This wine shows enough structure to be age-worth, yet soft and balanced enough to enjoy upon release. Flavors linger in this tasty, dense wine. Tastes like Oakville. -Heidi Barrett
