Château Haut Batailley, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2024
Haut Batailley 2024 offers an expressive bouquet with a pleasing floral lift and bright fruit character, leading to a taut palate displaying detailed, juicy fruit. Clear, transparent, with good definition and precision, supported by grippy, yet well-integrated tannins. Culminates with notes of graphite, blackcurrants, and black cherry. A classy, linear style.
critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple colored. Rolls out with open-knit scents of juicy plums, kirsch, and black pepper, plus touches of lavender and pencil lead. The light-bodied palate is lively with a light chewiness texturing the delicate red and black fruit flavors, finishing on a peppery note.
The 2024 Haut Batailley was picked from September 25 to October 7 and aged in 60% new oak. This has a light bouquet with graphite-tinged black fruit, but I am seeking more vigor in this Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with a chewiness on the entry and decent structure, though it feels conservative and strict toward the finish. I need to be more convinced by this—perhaps it will gain a bit more substance by the time of bottling?
Deep vibrant plum purple colour, liquorice bud, cassis bud, spiced blackberry and sage, fresh with austerity but balanced by juice running through the palate, well handled. 60% new oak. 3.63 pH, harvest September 25 to October 8. 90% of the estate's 50 year old vines are in here, plus the more recent Petit Verdot plantings.
The 2024 Haut-Batailley offers up aroma of cherries, kirsch and petroleum jelly, followed by a medium-bodied, chunky and tannic palate.
