In the 1700’s, the Saint-Martin family were the owners of Batailley. Chateau Batailley was well-known in those days due to its history as it was one of the older Bordeaux wine estates dating back to the 1400’s. In fact, the property took its name from a famous military battle that took place in 1452, during the hundred year war. The specific battle took place in the vineyards and chateau of what we know of as Chateau Batailley today. In 1942 Chateau Batailley was divided into two separate properties that we know today: Chateau Batailley and Chateau Haut Batailley . Francois Borie kept the smaller part of the Medoc vineyard which became Haut Batailley. The larger portion, including the chateau which was owned by Marcel Borie naturally kept the original name Batailley. In 1961 the estate was transferred to Marcel´s daughter Denise and her husband Emile Casteja. Their son Philippe Casteja manages Chateau Batailley today. The family also owns Chateau Lynch Moussas, Chateau Trottevielle and other Bordeaux estates as well as a massive Negociant company.
