Description
Blanc de Lynch-Bages 2024 – lively freshness from Pauillac
The Blanc de Lynch-Bages 2024 is one of the most refined dry white wines from the Médoc. Sourced from 7 hectares of Garonne gravel soils around Pauillac, this wine reflects the precision and energy of the Famille Cazes team. In a year when adaptability was key, this white wine delivered a remarkably aromatic and pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle and Sémillon.
Climate and harvest
2024 started with an extremely wet winter and mild temperatures, which led to early bud break. Spring brought a lot of rain and disease pressure, especially mildew, but thanks to quick and careful intervention, the potential of the harvest was preserved. The summer was dry, without extreme heat, which benefited the freshness and aromatic precision of the grapes. Some rain fell at the end of September, which contributed to extra balance just before harvest.
The white grapes were harvested between September 12 and 18 , in glorious weather and at optimum ripeness.
Vinification and maturation
Depending on the grape variety and quality, three vinification methods were chosen:
Direct pressing (with or without destemming),
Or after a cold skin maceration of 12 hours under dry ice.
Fermentation took place largely in wood (2/3) and partly in stainless steel, followed by 6 months of maturation sur lie , of which 50% in new French oak . This process produces a wine with both texture and liveliness.
Assembly and style
The final blend:
77% Sauvignon Blanc – citrus, flint and energy,
12% Muscadelle – floral refinement,
11% Sémillon – roundness and structure.
Alcohol: 12.5%
Acids: 4.2 g/L
pH: 3.12
Tasting notes of the 2024 Lynch Bages Blanc
The 2024 Blanc de Lynch-Bages shows a light yellow color with green reflections . In the nose floral notes of boxwood, citrus zest and subtle spiciness dominate. The taste is lively, tight and nicely balanced , with a precise mineral touch and fresh acids that give the wine length and tension.
Wine-food and availability
Ideal as an aperitif, but also with ceviche, oysters, sushi, grilled sea bass or a salad with goat cheese. This wine is a fresh counterpart to the red top wine of the domain.

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
Just bottled, the 2024 Blanc de Lynch Bages is a gorgeous, refreshing dry white to drink now and over the next handful of years. Lemon peel, white pepper, mint and chalky undertones are beautifully delineated. There's a bit more Muscadelle in this year's blend, but that is not especially apparent. Instead, Sauvignon Blanc drives the feel here.

Wijnhuis
The founder of Lynch-Bages is the Irish John Lynch who settled in Bordeaux in the 17th century. The village of Bages is home to the château. Since 1933, Lynch-Bages has been run by the Cazes family, an institution in the Médoc and a famous name in the world of wine. Third generation André Cazes was mayor of the municipality of Pauillac from 1947 to 1991. His son Jean-Michel has been running the family domain for several decades. His motto is; "great wine in search of the absolute". Given the appreciation for and status of Lynch-Bages, this 'absolute' has been reasonably achieved. Officially the château has the status of 5th Grand Cru Classé, but unofficially it is counted among the greatest of the Médoc. The other parts of the family business can also be described as very successful. Cordeillan-Bages, winery, hotel and best dining in the surrounding area and restaurant / caterer Le Chapon Fin in Bordeaux are good examples of this. 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, an eventful family in the world of wine.
