Lovely depth to the nose of this young Bordeaux with black currant, ink and walnut aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with a solid core of polished and integrated tannins.

ESTATE
Château Lynch-Bages was owned by the Lynch family for three quarters of a century.
They descended from John Lynch, a young Irishman from Galway who was chased out
of his country in 1691. In the 18th century, Count Jean-Baptiste Lynch, mayor of
Bordeaux, inherited the estate and handed over management to his brother Michel
Lynch, who was also mayor of Pauillac during the French Revolution. Jean-Charles
Cazes, highly respected in the Médoc for his experience in viticulture and
winemaking, bought the property in 1934. With his son André, he devoted all his
energy to Lynch-Bages for more than 35 years. In 1974, his grand-son Jean-Michel
Cazes set about restructuring and managing the estate and recently, in 2006, handed
over the running of the property to his son Jean-Charles.
