Item Description

An unopened wooden case of beautifully stored Chateau Haut-Batailley, a fifth grown wine from the Pouillac, Medoc region.  Vintage 1982. Perfectly stored for your drinking pleasure.

Pauillac is an important commune and red wine appellation of the Haut-Medoc district of Bordeaux, located between Saint-Estephe and Saint-Julien on the western (left) bank of the Gironde estuary. 

The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is founded not only on their quality, but on their historical success in international markets. The 1855 Classification of the Medoc ranked the best chateaux of the area according to the average prices commanded by their wines. Two of the top five were in Pauillac.

The soils of Pauillac are largely made up of free-draining gravel, which is ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. These soils, when combined with the temperate Bordeaux climate, are the starting point for Pauillac's high-quality wines.

Overall, the terroir of Pauillac varies more than might be expected in an area of only nine square miles (23 square km), where the land rises and falls by a maximum of 100ft (30m). Over hundreds of vintages, the chateaux and their winemakers have become very skilled at emphasizing the individuality of their vineyards, and there is general agreement that the styles of the top three chateaux are discernibly different. Overall, however, there is still an identifiable Pauillac style: full, rich and characterized by the classic cassis and cedarwood aromas of oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon.
