Chateau Batailley

Deriving its name from a battle fought between the british and french six centuries ago, this popular wine has not disappointed its legion of fans in 2006. The wonderfully ripe cabernet sauvignon is softened by merlot and petit verdot. A rich, fruity nose is followed by a palate with batailleys characteristic weight and reassuringly dense, textured red and black fruit, creamy oak and a very long finish. Excellent value, as always.
