Lions de Batailley
In Pauillac, Lions de Batailley brings the voice of a classified Médoc estate into sharper focus. As the second wine of Château Batailley—rated Cinquième Grand Cru Classé in 1855—it echoes the gravelly rises by the Gironde and the Cabernet-led identity of the appellation, framed in a more approachable register.
The name recalls a “bataille” from the 15th century; in the 20th century, the Borie and Castéja families shaped the estate’s modern chapter. For Lions de Batailley, younger vines and rigorously selected lots are favoured so fruit and structure meet earlier. The cellar follows a classic Bordeaux path: barrel élevage, careful selection and patient élevage to refine tannins without sanding away place.
The result is Pauillac with discipline and depth: composed, terroir-driven and close enough to the grand vin to carry its unmistakable DNA.Lions de Batailley
