Echo de Chateau Lynch Bages 2021
$65.00
VINTAGE
The meteorological context in 2021 was complicated at times, marked
by cool temperatures and a slight water deficit, resulting in a vintage
that brought the expression of great “terroirs” to the front.
The climatic conditions at the end of September allowed the
Cabernets to reach perfect maturity, of a particular high quality.
Alcohol by volume is moderate and back to classic levels, between 12.5
and 13.5% vol.
The wines offer a beautiful colour and have a good extractable
anthocyanin content, despite the low temperature variations
observed over the summer.
The ripening conditions and moderate water stress bring a powerful
freshness and beautiful aromatic complexity, with very marked notes
of fresh red fruits
TASTING NOTES
Black currant, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with polished tannins and a pretty texture. Vivid and creamy mouthfeel. Lovely finish. Second wine of Lynch-Bages.
GRAPES
44% Cabernet Sauvignon
56% Merlot
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.
