Château Haut-Batailley 2024 – Pauillac, Cru Classé

(68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot) The nose is beautifully mineral, it offers a racy, precise grain, with relief, a multi-layered, graphene-like side. It reveals notes of violet, racy minerality and small notes of pulpy cassis, brilliant cherry, small red berries, as well as fine hints of graphene, a hint of red pepper and cubeb. The palate is fruity, juicy, it offers a certain pulpiness, brilliance, aromatic depth and a lovely, delicate, bright, chiselled substance. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of brilliant cherry, juicy/brilliant cassis and small notes of cornflower, combined with touches of small brilliant red berries, lily, iris, as well as fine hints of racy minerality and cardamom. The tannins are mellow and elegant. A wine offering delicacy and a hint of iodized, almost discreetly pearly.
