In a rare deal, a notable classified-growth Bordeaux winery has changed hands. Wine Spectator has learned that the Cazes family, owners of the well-known Pauillac fifth-growth Château Lynch Bages, has purchased Château Haut-Batailley, a fellow fifth-growth also located in Pauillac. Haut-Batailley comprises 100 acres, roughly half of them planted, and produces 9,000 cases annually. It had been managed by François-Xavier Borie, owner of Grand-Puy-Lacoste, and owned by an extension of his family. Wine Spectator has the full story.
