Tasting Notes

The Château Haut-Batailley 2013 is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot picked from 2 to 10 October at 31hl/ha. It has a light and slightly leafy bouquet with touches of bay leaf and undergrowth. It is missing a little vigour at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline character on the entry (like Lynch Bages). It gains cohesion towards the finish, remaining resolutely 'classic' in style with a nice touch of austerity lingering on the aftertaste. Tasted April 2014.
