Coup de Coeur Guide vert 2019 Solid and built on ample material, with fruit and very refined tannins, this 2016 is equipped to face time. Its precision is exemplary.

This wine shows all the power of the vintage, with rich tannins and sumptuous black-currant fruit. A lot of expensive work has gone into bringing this estate up to this level and this excellent bottling is the result.

If you like, and coax the glass just a bit you can find cigar box, tobacco, truffle, smoke and blackberries. The wine is medium/full bodied with round tannins and a crispy bite of cassis in the almost creamy finish. Give the wine 7-10 years in the cellar for the Pauillac firmness to subside and enjoy it over the following 2 decades or more. The wine was made from a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot.

Dark ruby red, opaque core, subtle lightening at the rim, fine hints of baked plum, a touch of fig and tobacco. Medium complexity, nuances of blackberry and cassis, integrated tannins, somewhat developed, subtle nougat on the finish, a charming food wine.

This is a bit subtle and old-school in approach, with singed juniper and alder elements out front followed by perfumy, lightly mulled currant and cherry fruit flavours. The wood notes reemerge through the finish along with savoury and sanguine threads. Will age well; for fans of the style.

pure nose, classic hints of graphite, tobacco, cassis, plum, leather and gentle oak. The palate has good volume and weight, still youthful but with ripe extract, nicely austere dark fruit and a long dense finish.

Bright garnet with a pale rim. Attractively balanced. Sweet and smooth. But some structure underneath. Ideal for an airline first class? Already easy to enjoy even if not the most vibrant.

Château Batailley

Château Batailley is a Bordeaux wine estate. In the Pauillac AOC, it is classified as a 5th Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 Médoc wine classification, and is one of the jewels of the Castéja family and Borie-Manoux. The name of this property comes from the word Battle, which took place in 1453 on the vineyards and the Château. This was the Hundred Years' War.

During this war, the French recaptured Château Latour, which was occupied by the English and marked the end of British rule in Aquitaine. In the 17th century, vines were planted on these lands rich in history. The park of the Château was designed in the 19th century by Barillet-Deschamps, landscape architect of Napoleon III. Château Batailley is a classic Pauillac, with a dark ruby colour, well-structured and pronounced notes of blackcurrant.

The best vintages of Château Batailley are 1959, 1982. The 2000 vintage and the 2009 wines are excellent. Finally, the 1990 grand cru classés and 2005 grand crus are particularly exceptional.
