奧巴特利酒莊的葡萄園面積達22公頃,這裡的土質為典型的梅多克沙礫土,十分適合優質葡萄的生長。葡萄園內種植的葡萄品種包括 70%的赤霞珠(Cabernet Sauvignon),25%的梅洛(Merlot)和 5%的品麗珠(Cabernet Franc)。葡萄藤的平均樹齡為35年,種植密度為10,000株/公頃。葡萄採用手工採摘,去梗後,就會放入控溫的不銹鋼桶中發酵,最後進入橡木桶中陳釀20個月,每年新橡木桶的使用比例為40%。葡萄酒在裝瓶前會進行輕微的過濾。就葡萄酒的產量而言,奧巴特利酒莊的正牌葡萄酒每年的產量約為10,000箱,副牌約為每年1,700箱。 2004年和2005年都算是奧巴特利酒莊正牌酒不錯的年份。這些年份出產的正牌酒口感輕快,帶有迷人的果味,還有淡淡的漿果風味以及香草味,性價比極高。

||Long owned by Xavier Borie, this Pauillac estate sits next to Batailley and is just south of Borie’s other famous château, Grand-Puy-Lacoste. The 2012, dramatically better from bottle than barrel, is bigger boned, richer and more flamboyant than this wine normally tends to be. The color is a healthy purple, and the wine offers plenty of cassis and licorice as well as a touch of incense. The oak from barrel-aging 18 months is largely obscured. Medium to full-bodied and impressively endowed, it comes off like a hypothetic blend of a St.-Julien and Pauillac, but this is a classic 2012 that is full, rich and impressive, with beautifully sweet tannins.
