Chateau Haut-Batailley 2011
2011 Pauillac 5e Cru Classe from Bordeaux
Chateau Haut-Batailley vineyard is located south-west of Pauillac appellation, and lies on 22 hectares (54.3 acres) Garonne gravel soils. The 2011 vintage is a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend.
The charming and refined 5e Cru Classe from Bordeaux reveals a deep, shiny red hue. The nose exudes a lovely bouquet with delicious black fruits and spices. Very ripe and alluring tannins coat the palate with intense fruit for superb balance. The whole boasts lovely structure: elegant, smooth, and pure.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Tasted at a vertical tasting at the château. The 2011 Haut Batailley has an open and expressive bouquet with blackberry and crushed stone--not as vibrant or displaying the same contrast as the 2012, but that powdered stone develops nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and satisfying fruit concentration. This is a more elegant Haut-Batailley, without the weight and concentration of the previous two vintages, but offering finesse and composure on the finish. You could actually drink this now, but it will give another 15-18 years of pleasure. Tasted July 2016.
