“Lions de Batailley” is the second wine of Château Batailley and draws its name from the two Lions who guard the gates of Château Batailley’s main entrance. Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé of the classification of 1855, is the Castéja family’s and Borie-Manoux’s flagship. It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. Lions de Batailley comes mainly from young vines (10-40 years old), as well as from vines issued from non-associated plots in the final Grand Vin blend.
Tasting notes
This incredibly complex wine touches multiple flavor notes including cherry, cassis, spice, cedar and espresso, packaged in a medium body. While this wine can be drunk today with food, the gripping tannins promise a long aging-potential.
