Tasting notes

Jeb Dunnuck · Jeb Dunnuck · 95

Juicy red, blue, and black fruits, scorched earth, sappy flowers, and chalky minerality all emerge from the 2022 Château Haut-Batailley, a beautifully pure, polished, elegant Pauillac that's medium to full-bodied has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and ultra-fine tannins. I love its overall balance, and this is up with the finest vintages I've tasted from this château. The 2022 is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, raised in 65% new French oak. It’s going to benefit from just 4-5 years of bottle age (it’s far from unapproachable today) and have 30 years of overall longevity.

James Suckling · James Suckling · 94-95

Classy and very focused with blackberry and blackcurrant character. The tannins nicely melt into the wine with finesse and weightlessness. Elegant. 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot.

Jane Anson · Decanter · 93

Deep plum and blackberry fruit, touch of gunsmoke reduction on first opening, softening to show depth and flesh to the fruit. 65% new oak. 41hl/h yield.

Antonio Galloni · Vinous · 93-95

The 2022 Haut-Batailley is a potent, brooding wine. Black cherry, gravel, cured meat, spice and leather infuse the 2022 with tons of mineral and savoury intensity, backed by a formidable spine of tannin that gives the wine shape and vertical thrust. I imagine the 2022 will need the better part of a decade to come into its own. Tasted two times.

Neal Martin · Vinous · 93

The 2022 Haut-Batailley has an intense bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry and light aniseed scents. Like others here, it is a little bullish at first, though it gains clarity in the glass. The palate is very smooth on the entry, with plenty of black fruit laced with graphite, and just a slight herbaceous element towards the finish that should be integrated with time. This is going to be a beauty. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW · Wine Advocate · 92-94

The 2022 Haut-Batailley, 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, is deep garnet-purple in color. It gallops out with bold notions of warm cassis, blackberry pie, and black raspberries, followed by hints of clove oil, tilled soil, and lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate has a rock-solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness to support the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and minerally. pH 3.73, TPI 92.

William Kelley · Wine Advocate · 91-93+

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the 2022 Haut-Batailley offers up aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with liquorice and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, firm and structured, it's a serious, rather muscular, extracted wine that begins to nod toward its stablemate Lynch Bages in style.
