Château Batailley is a Bordeaux wine estate in the Pauillac appellation and classified as a 5th grand cru in the 1855 Médoc wine classification.
The history of the wine estate dates back to the 17th century. In 1816, Daniel Guestier, from the trading company Barton & Guestier, bought the Château, modernised it, increased the surface area of the vineyard and improved the quality of the wine. His son succeeded him in 1847 and then in 1866, the Parisian banker Constant Halphen acquired the property. In 1924, the Borie brothers, Marcel and Francis, bought the estate: Château Batailley became part of the history of the Borie-Castéja family. In 1941, the brothers decided to divide the property in two, which gave birth to Château Haut-Batailley, which went to Francis, while Marcel kept Batailley. In 1961, Denise Borie, daughter of Marcel Borie and wife of Emile Castéja, inherited the Château. Her husband Emile Castéja managed the estate for 40 years. Her son Philippe Castéja succeeded her in the 2000s.
The name "Batailley" comes from the "Battle" that took place in 1453 between the French and the English on the lands of the future estate; with the reconquest of Château Latour by the French, this year saw the end of the Hundred Years' War. Château Batailley is one of the oldest residences in the commune of Pauillac.
In 2006, the estate invested in a new vat room allowing plot-by-plot vinification. In 2015, it launched Lions de Batailley, the château's second wine, then in 2019, Pauillac de Batailley, the third wine.
