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.

93-95 point, Vinous: 

"The 2021 Haut-Batailley is a few steps up from the second wine. Dark and ample in feel, with broad shoulders, the Grand Vin possesses notable depth and intensity right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, licorice, spice and leather race across the palate. Readers will find a Pauillac of power and depth that are typical of the southern part of the appellation."

94 point, Wine Enthusiast: 

"The wine's freshness is impressive both in the aroma and flavors. It is rich while also refined and structured. Tannins and blackberry abound in equal quantities. Drink from 2028. — Roger Voss"

93-94 point, James Suckling: 

"A firm and refined red with crushed-stone and salty, mineral character, as well as creamy tannins. Some iodine, too. Medium body. Medium finish. 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot."

92-94 point, Jeb Dunnuck: 

"The 2021 Château Haut-Batailley shines, and this estate, under the helm of the team from Lynch-Bages, is one to watch. Classic Cabernet notes of cassis, violets, and graphite give way to a medium to full-bodied effort offering ripe, polished tannins, the freshness and purity of the vintage, terrific balance, and a great finish. It's more than a little impressive, and while it shows the vintage's more elegant, mid-weight style, it brings depth and richness."
