Located on the outskirts of Pauillac, on one of the town’s most beautiful hilltops and overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Lynch-Bages owes its name partly to the very old hamlet of Bages and partly to the Lynch family, of Irish descent, which looked after the estate’s destiny from the eighteenth century onwards.

Bought by the Cazes family in 1934 and already highly renowned, Lynch Bages took a further step forward when Jean-Michel Cazes arrived at the helm in 1974. He was to become the tireless ambassador not just for his own wine but for Bordeaux and for the whole French wine industry, traveling worldwide to meet an ever-increasing circle of passionate wine enthusiasts.

The 2020 vintage inaugurated the estate's new state-of-the-art winery.

Grape varieties: 60% Cab Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cab Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

Beautifully defined bouquet with a strong estuarine influence, brine and seaweed infusing the black fruit. It's almost understated at first, but it opens wonderfully in the glass - quintessentially Pauillac.

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite concentrated that is counterbalanced by a fine bead of acidity.

The saline note on the finish is superb, lingering in the mouth. What an absolutely delicious Lynch-Bages for the long-term.
