Chateau Lynch Bages Grand Cru Pauillac 2022
$185.00
TASTING NOTES
Very tightly wound at this early stage with some very firm structure for ageing. Once it opens up it is powerful
and concentrated, with cassis, bramble and dark cherry. The tannins are bold and imposing at this stage, but
there are more appetising savoury, cedar, menthol, licorice and tobacco flavours building on the palate. This
is built to age and will develop into a seriously impressive Pauillac.
GRAPES
66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc.
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.
