Tasting Notes

Vinous 93

The 1961 Batailley is a wine that I have tasted three of four times including a spellbinding bottle back in 2007. Nothing has ever quite approached that example, although this bottle made an extremely fine Pauillac in this year. Blackberry, mint and graphite comprise the well-defined nose, bottles displaying varying levels of precision, this one quite good. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine bead of acidity, impressive depth and unapologetically classic in style. Truffle and smoke develop towards the finish that offers plenty of freshness, even if it does not quite possess the length of its peers. One of the better value 1961 Left Bank wines if you find a bottle. Tasted at a private dinner in Bordeaux. [Neal Martin, 01/10/2019]

Anticipated maturity: 2019-2035

Wine Advocate 92

Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting at the chateau, the 1961 Batailley can be astonishing if you chance upon a tip-top bottle (cf. my tasting notes back in 2007). This was a good example but not in the same class as that. It commences well on the nose, still fresh and tensile with graphite infusing the black fruit that maybe do not have as much freshness and precision as an impeccable bottle might convey. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh line of acidity, decayed red berry fruit, a touch of black cherry, cedar and truffle, with smoke toward the finish that is dense and solid. It is a very fine 1961 Left Bank that is probably overlooked, though this example just dipped before the finish line. Tasted April 2016. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026

The French artist Gerard Garouste has created the original artwork, called “Hommage au Baron Philippe”, to illustrate the label for Château Mouton Rothschild 2022. Gérard Garouste A leading... French painter, Gérard Garouste is a stand-out figure on the international art scene. He drew his inspiration from conversations with Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild and from the photographs of Baron Philippe he was shown. After playing with various ideas in his sketchbooks, the idea of a portrait of Baron Philippe, accompanied by the symbols of the ram, the front wall and the vine, soon came to the fore. The work took shape as a gouache which he naturally chose to call Hommage au Baron Philippe.
