The 2025 vintage is shaping up to be outstanding, marked by a mild and dry winter that allowed winter work to be carried out under excellent conditions.
Following an early and even budburst, the spring—both mild and dry—helped limit disease pressure.
Flowering, early and rapid, took place at the end of May under favourable climatic conditions.
The summer, characterised by a significant water deficit, promoted an equally early and uniform veraison. Hot and dry conditions persisted until mid-August, before giving way to strong diurnal temperature variations, ideal for perfecting grape ripeness.
Harvesting, extremely early and beginning in the very first days of September, took place under very favourable conditions.
Vinification, carried out with a focus on freshness, has resulted in a wine with vibrant fruit, a deep colour, a beautiful freshness on the palate, and a long aromatic persistence.
“The wine displays a deep, intense dark red color. The nose, of incredible precision, is both intense and very delicate. Aromas of fresh, crunchy fruit—blueberries and cherries—are complemented by notes of iris. After a few seconds, more empyreumatic nuances begin to emerge. The palate does not disappoint—quite the opposite. Full and supple on the attack, it evolves into a very compact texture, particularly flavorful at mid-palate. It extends into a powerful and vibrant finish. A wine of great pedigree and dimension in this remarkable Batailley 2025.”
