Château Haut-Batailley

Producer description of "Château Haut-Batailley" Wine offers for "Château Haut-Batailley" in find+buy

The vineyard is situated in the commune of Pauillac, in the region of the same name in the Médoc (Bordeaux). It should not be confused with the similarly named Château Haut-Bailly (Pessac-Léognan). There are two different theories regarding the origin of the name. The prevailing theory refers to a battle (French: ‘bataille’) between the English and the French during the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453). The second theory suggests it derives from an estate owned by a wine merchant named Batailley. The first vines were planted after the final decisive battle in 1453.

Château Haut-Batailley - Gebäude

For a long time, it formed a single estate with the neighbouring Château Batailley. In 1932, it came into the possession of the brothers Francis (1890–1953) and Marcel Borie (1892–1958). In 1939, they decided to divide the estate. The larger part (Château Batailley) went to Marcel, whilst the smaller part, now known as Château Haut-Batailley, went to Francis Borie. Following his death, his daughter Françoise Brest-Borie inherited the estate. Later, the estate was run under the name ‘Domaines François-Xavier Borie’ by François-Xavier Borie, Françoise’s nephew (see the closely intertwined history of the Borie and Castéja families under Borie-Manoux). Since 2017, it has been owned by the JM Cazes family.
