2022 Château Lynch Bages Pauillac Grand Cru Classé Magnum

The founder of Lynch-Bages is the Irishman John Lynch, who settled in Bordeaux in the 17th century. The village of Bages is the home of the château. Since 1933, Lynch-Bages has been run by the Cazes family, an institution in the Médoc and a renowned name in the wine world. The third generation, André Cazes, was mayor of the municipality of Pauillac from 1947 to 1991. His son, Jean-Michel, has been running the family estate for several decades. His motto is "great wine in search of the absolute." Given the appreciation and status of Lynch-Bages, this "absolute" has been reasonably achieved. Officially, the château holds the status of 5th Grand Cru Classé, but unofficially, it is considered among the very greatest in the Médoc. Other aspects of the family business can also be described as highly successful. Cordeillan-Bages, a winery, hotel, and the best restaurant in the area, and the restaurant/caterer Le Chapon Fin in Bordeaux are prime examples. Their father, André, founded the Commanderie du Bontemps de Médoc in the late 1940s, and Jean-Michel can call himself the founder of the École du Bordeaux. In short, a dynamic family in the world of wine.

The Lynch Bages 2022 was harvested on September 12th, about 15 days earlier than usual, until September 24th, with a range of approximately 35 hL/ha. The Lynch Bages 2022 is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (75% new). The Lynch Bages 2022 offers a seductive mouthfeel with powerful yet silky tannins. The palate is very rich with notes of red and black fruit, followed by chocolate, cherries, and spices on a fresh core, leading to a long finish. This is a 1.5-liter magnum—even more delicious, more festive, and with a longer drinking window.
