Château Lynch-Bages

The Château Lynch-Bages is one of those illustrious properties that have contributed to the reputation of the great wines of Pauillac.

Located on the land of "Batges", a gravelly hillock overlooking the Gironde estuary, its history begins in the 17th century when it was owned by Thomas Lynch, a Bordeaux merchant of Irish origin. It was at that time called the "Lynch cru" and remained in the family until 1824.

In 1855, the Château Lynch-Bages obtained the title of Fifth Grand Cru Classé in the famous classification of Médoc wines for the Paris World Fair.

His modern history has been written by the Cazes family, which still owns it. In 1939, Jean-Charles Cazes, who already owned Château Les Ormes de Pez at Saint-Estèphe, bought Domaine and breathed new life into it by raising its standard. When he died in 1972, his grandson Jean-Michel Cazes took over the reins and gradually, thanks to numerous technical renovations and by surrounding himself with the right people, he was able to produce a wine on a par with the great Pauillac. Since 2006, it is his son Jean-Charles who manages it, always with one objective in mind, that of producing the most precise wines possible, marked with the imprint of the Cazes.

Description Château Lynch-Bages 2016.

The color is intense purple with some golden reflections of autumn.

On the nose as well as on the palate: notes of wild blackberry jelly, blackcurrant, black cherry from the Basque country with a slight hint of smoke, followed by touches of Lebanese cedar cigar box, spices and dried roses.

The mouth is round and ample with a palate offering finely chiseled tannins with a beautiful freshness.

It is a wine for ageing whose peak is recent and will be able to continue for many more years until the 2040s.

Store bottles lying down, away from light and noise with an optimal hygrometric degree of 70%.

Decant one or two hours before tasting at room temperature.
