Later, in 2006, his daughter Emeline Borie took over, renovated the estate's facilities and cellar, and modernized it, resulting in a significant improvement in the wine quality.The Cazes family of Chateau Lynch-Bages acquired the Chateau Haut-Batailley estate in 2017.Currently, Chateau Haut-Batailley has 22 hectares of vineyards, with soil typical of the Medoc gravel, which is conducive to producing high-quality grapes.This Fifth Growth estate is relatively less circulated in the market compared to other Pauillac estates of the same rank, and it is often a gem that wine lovers tend to overlook.
