In a vintage marked by intensity and concentration, this wine stands out for its balance of power and finesse, showcasing the gravelly terroir and traditional craftsmanship for which Batailley is known.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bold and complex with aromas of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, and tobacco.
