Chateau Haut-Batailley is a winery in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. The wine produced here was part of the property that was classified as one of eighteen Cinquiemes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
Historically the estate was part of Chateau Batailley until its purchase by the brothers Franois and Marcel Borie in 1932, at which point it was divided into two properties in 1942 to prevent inheritance difficulties. The smaller part which did not include the Batailley chateau became the property of Franois Borie who added to its vineyards with land acquisitions from Chateau Duhart-Milon while also running Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou. Following his death in 1953, the property passed on to his daughter Franoise de Brest-Borie, while being administered by her brother and Ducru-Beaucaillou owner Jean-Eugene Borie. In 2017, the Cazes family of Chateau Lynch-Bages acquired the Chateau Haut-Batailley estate. The Borie family also own Chteau Ducru-Beaucaillou and Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste.
Located in the very south of the Pauillac appellation, the property shares a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Médoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds. Its near neighbours include Ch. Lynch-Bages, Ch. Pichon Lalande and Ch. Latour.
The vineyard area extends 22 hectares (54 acres) planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 61%, Merlot 36%, Petit Verdot 3% and lie on deep gravel beds over limestone.
Production of the grand vin Chateau Haut-Batailley is on average 10,000 cases (900 hl), a year and of the second wine Tour d'Aspic there is an annual production of 1,700 cases (150 hl).
