This enabled us to gain a very detailed knowledge of the different soils and to choose the right grape varieties, rootstocks &#8230; Those that are adapted to terroir and climate change. Those we chose for Haut-Batailley are more resistant to drought and heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">To my knowledge, Haut-Batailley is the only Ch\u00e2teau in the 1855 classification to have replanted almost 50% of its vineyard in 3 years&#8230;\u00a0These new plantings will initially be dedicated to Haut-Batailley Verso, an elegant and harmonious wine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong><em>Gerda: What positioning (s) do you want for your brand (s) ?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Jean-Charles Cazes<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">After the work carried out over the last 5 years, we can say that Haut-Batailley has been given a new look!\u00a0<\/span>It is aimed at fine-wine lovers, and a new public in search of discoveries for Haut-Batailley Verso.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">With its unique tasting style, the result of its terroir singularity, and a more modern image that stands out from the classic codes that we know in Bordeaux, Haut-Batailley has the potential to become a well-known and recognized property in Pauillac.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong><em>Gerda<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0<em><strong>How would you define the style of Ch\u00e2teau Haut-Batailley wines?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"><strong>Jean-Charles Cazes<\/strong><\/span>:\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I often describe Haut-Batailley as a Pauillac with a Saint Julien ascendant&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">The property is located in the very south of the appellation, its vines adjoining those of the neighboring commune.
