Château Haut-Batailley is a Bordeaux producer in Pauillac and one of 18 estates with the status of Fifth Growth, awarded from the 1855 classification of Bordeaux.The estate was once a part of the larger Château Batailley. Batailley was bought in 1932 by the brothers François and Marcel Borie, who divided it in two in 1942 to avoid conflict in inheritance. François took the smaller property that did not include the physical château and named the estate Haut-Batailley. He increased the size of the estate by buying vineyards, including purchases of plots in 1951 from the Fourth Growth Château Duhart-Milon. Château Haut-Batailley is now 22 hectares (55 acres) planted predominantly to Cabernet Sauvignon as is typical of Left Bank Bordeaux. Merlot and Cabernet Franc are blended in the final cuvée but planted in smaller parcels.
