Château Batailley

Producer description of "Château Batailley"

The vineyard is located in the commune of Pauillac or area in the Médoc (Bordeaux). There are two different versions of the origin of the name. The predominant one refers to a battle (French: bataille) between the English and the French during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). The second is based on the ownership of a wine merchant named Batailley. The first vines were planted after the last decisive battle in 1453 (on "blood-soaked soil", as the estate's website says today). Towards the end of the 18th century, the estate was owned by the Saint-Martin family, from 1791 by Jean-Guillaume Pécholier (+1816) and then by the Barton & Guestier trading house. The estate, which was still undivided at the time, was awarded fifth place in the Bordeaux classification in 1855 (Cinquième Grand Cru Classé).
