The Story Behind the Wine: Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, stands as one of the oldest estates in the Médoc region. The name "Batailley" commemorates a significant battle in 1453 during the Hundred Years' War, marking the end of English rule over the Médoc. Owned by the Castéja family and managed by Borie-Manoux, the estate introduced Lions de Batailley as its second wine in 2015, sourced mainly from younger vines and non-associated plots. 

Pairing Suggestions: This Pauillac red blend pairs exquisitely with grilled lamb chops, aged cheddar cheese, and hearty beef stews. The wine's robust structure and rich flavors complement the savory and umami profiles of these dishes, enhancing the dining experience.
