Verso de Haut-Batailley – Pauillac – Red – 2018:

 

Verso: The Second Wine of Fifth Growth Château Haut-Batailley

Haut-Batailley Verso is the celebrated Second Wine from Château Haut-Batailley, a distinguished Fifth Growth from the 1855 Classification, situated in the heart of Pauillac. Under the ownership of the Cazes family since 2017, Verso is crafted to be approachable and fruit-driven, delivering the classic elegance of Pauillac’s gravel terroir in a style that is ready for earlier enjoyment than the Grand Vin.

Tasting Profile: Elegant Structure with Immediate Appeal

• **Colour:** Deep crimson with an inviting, bright hue.
• **Nose:** Rich aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, and boysenberry, beautifully integrated with subtle notes of pencil lead, star anise, and a delicate wood spice.
• **Palate:** Medium-to-full bodied, offering a juicy mid-palate and a refreshing, tangy structure. The tannins are fine-grained and velvety, providing a polished mouthfeel. It is a generous wine that captures the freshness and sapidity of the appellation.

Food Pairing & Serving

A superb choice for a sophisticated dinner. We recommend decanting for an hour to allow the aromas to fully open. This wine is a brilliant match for classic British roasts and game dishes. Serve at 16-18°C.
