NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Batailley Lions de Batailley is a second wine of the estate, made from carefully selected grapes to ensure a high-quality expression of the terroir.On the nose, Lions de Batailley offers a captivating bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, accompanied by subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. These aromas intertwine harmoniously, creating an inviting and complex olfactory experience.
The palate is equally impressive, with a medium to full body that exudes elegance and finesse. The wine's velvety tannins provide a smooth and well-rounded mouthfeel, while the vibrant acidity adds freshness and balance. Flavors of dark fruits persist on the palate, accompanied by notes of licorice and a touch of earthiness.
Lions de Batailley is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. With proper cellaring, it will continue to develop and reveal additional layers of complexity over the years.
