Château Lynch Bages

Situated on the Bages plateau, one of the finest gravelly rises in the appellation, this château, owned by the Cazes family for nearly 100 years is always one of the most popular amongst Bordeaux drinkers. Aged in 75% new oak, this is a classic Lynch Bages.

Tasting Notes

The nose is a jam jar of rich blackcurrant fruits screaming from the glass with power and expression. The palate shows a strong and sturdy structure, wrapped with a concentrated black fruit structure. The tannins are firm lending great support, there is graphite and slate minerality all balanced by a wonderful raspberry freshness. This is a finely crafted and powerful wine that represents the traits of the Pauillac appellation superbly.

Vinification

Harvest 9th -21st September with a yield of 29hl/ha. The first wine from Lynch-Bages is drawn off into split stave-wood oak barrels with optimum aromatic capacity, made by reputed barrel-makers, before being aged in the cellars for 18 months in 75% new oak. The winemaker's skilled craft involves regular racking and fining for harmonisation before the wines are bottled at the château and aged. Alc 13.3%.
