Lions de Batailley, 2nd wine of Ch. Batailley, 2014

Description

"Lions de Batailley" is the second wine of Château Batailley and draws its name from the two Lions who guard the gates of Château Batailley's main entrance.

Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé of the classification of 1855, is the Castéja family's and Borie-Manoux’s flagship. It is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc. Lions de Batailley comes mainly from young vines (10-40 years old), as well as from vines issued from non-associated plots in the final Grand Vin blend

Tasting Notes

Blend Ratio (Estimate): 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc

This incredibly complex wine touches multiple flavor notes including cherry, cassis, spice, cedar and espresso, packaged in a medium body. Balanced, silky tannins with acidity and length. It is a wine that drinks easily young, but will also age well.

Serving Suggestions

Ideal with Pork, Beef and Lamb meat. Perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, salmon, mushrooms and pasta as well as cheese.
