Château Haut-Batailley er en anerkendt 5. Cru Classé beliggende i den sydlige del af Pauillac. Slottets nærmeste naboer tæller prominente ejendomme som Pichon Longueville, Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande og Château Latour.

Haut-Batailley har siden 1930'erne været ejet af familien Borie, som også stod bag ejendommen Ducru Beaucaillou. I foråret 2017 er ejendommen dog blevet opkøbt af familien Cazes, som står bag den kendte ejendom Lynch-Bages.

Al høst og den efterfølgende selektering sker med håndkraft. Maceration og gæring i temperaturkontrollerede ståltanke og efterfølgende lagring på barriques i ca. 20 måneder, hvor ca. 60% af fadene er nye.

94 point, James Suckling: 

"The blackcurrants and blueberries with violets on the nose are fascinating. Full-bodied and very tightly wound with gorgeous tannins and a linear and bright finish. Needs two to four years to come together. Try after 2023."

92-94 point, Jeb Dunnuck: 

"I loved the 2016 Château Haut Batailley from barrel. It has a darker, classic, balanced style as well as textbook aromatics of black and blue fruits, violets, and damp earth. With sweet tannins, good acidity, medium to full body, and a big finish, it’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring and shine for two decades."

92 point, Decanter:

"The Cazes family bought this estate in Spring 2017 and have been responsible for the ageing of this wine, but not its production. This wasn't released en primeur due to the timing of the sale. This is a good quality Pauillac, still very much in the primeur register but now with an appealing openness to the structure that suggests it won't take as long to come into its drinking window as some. Sweet black fruits are joined by gentle, well-worked tannins and a nice freshness. It has an enjoyable, silky texture."
