Details

Chateau Batailley, a 5th Growth Pauillac of the famed 1855 Classification, is Borie-Manouxs flagship property. The name is derived from the battle (bataille) that took place during the Hundred Years War around 1453, designating where the chateau and vineyard are today. In this battle, the French reconquered the neighboring Chateau Latour from the English, a crucial point for ending the 300-year-long reign of the English in Aquitaine. The first record of vines planted on these historical grounds dates back to the 16th century. Chateau Batailleys 12-acre (5-hectare) gardens were originally designed by Barillet-Deschamps, Napoleon IIIs landscape architect, in 1850.
