CHÂTEAU LYNCH‑BAGES Grand Cru Classé - Pauillac - The power and elegance of a great Pauillac

Bold, innovative and with a reputation for often being the last to harvest, Jean-Charles Cazes defined Lynch-Bages style in the 1930s. The distinctive character of the wine has earned it a place among the best in Pauillac. It combines structure, finesse and elegance, offering generous aromas in its youth and developing deeper complexities with bottle ageing. The estate's reputation as a top quality wine producer began in 1945 after a series of exceptional vintages. Since then, Lynch-Bages has continued to produce excellent wines, even during years considered difficult in the Bordeaux region. The wine's deep color and tannic backbone have become part of its signature style. Jean-Michel Cazes, grandson of Jean-Charles, has worked hard over the years to develop and refine the supple and smooth structure of the wine. Vintage after vintage, the estate's precise and exquisite winemaking techniques have firmly established Lynch-Bages' reputation for consistent quality.

The 2021 Lynch Bages is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot which has matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 75% of which are new. It has a modest alcohol content of 13.14%. In the glass, the Lynch Bages has a very deep purple-black colour. The wine needs some time so decanting in its younger years is definitely recommended, but then a legion of aromas is released with pure, ripe black currants, black cherries and preserved plums which seamlessly transition into roses, cedar wood. (cigar box), incense, cardamom and savory notes of black olives and smoked meat. The palate is full with a solid base of very firm, very ripe, grainy tannins and an excellent freshness that supports the generous layers of black fruit with a great finish.
