Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with a magnificently expressive nose of blueberry compote, black cherry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of dark chocolate, licorice, tar and violets with a waft of hoisin. The medium to full-bodied palate is just as impactful as the nose, coating the mouth with juicy black berry and spicy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a refreshing earthiness coming through at the end.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Lynch Bages sashays out of the glass with flamboyant scents of baked blackcurrants, blackberry preserves and mulberries plus touches of lavender, dark chocolate, star anise and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has bags of class and finesse with firm, finely-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lynch Bages comes charging out of the gate with pronounced cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and menthol notions, backed up by scents of garrigue, tilled soil and a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fantastically concentrated, the generous fruit is superbly framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins with tons of pepper, cinnamon and cloves layers coming through on the finish. Truly, a legendary Lynch Bages!
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Lynch Bages offers up crushed black berries, black cherries and dried herbs with an earthy undercurrent. The medium-bodied palate is firm and taut with lively fruit and a chewy finish.
The 2014 Lynch-Bages is full of promise, offering up a classic bouquet of rich but vibrant blackcurrant fruit mingled with with hints of loamy soil, cedar and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of ripe but youthfully assertive tannin, lively acids and a long, resonant finish, it will hit its stride in 10 to 15 years. This is an excellent Lynch-Bages that represents especially good value in the contemporary marketplace.
The 2012 Lynch-Bages is deep ruby/purple with tell-tale cassis notes. Medium-bodied, but somewhat foursquare and monolithic, it has well above average concentration, impressive purity and nicely integrated tannins and wood. Nevertheless, there is something bland and one-dimensional about Lynch-Bages in 2012, making it somewhat of a disappointment. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
The medium-bodied 2011 Lynch Bages possesses a saturated ruby/purple color as well as beautiful creme de cassis notes, a generous, concentrated, well-made, medium to full-bodied style and supple tannins. A successful effort in 2011, it should be drinkable in 3-4 years and last for 15+. It is a sleeper of the vintage.
Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2010 Lynch-Bages offers up aromas of rich cassis fruit mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by firm, powdery tannins and lively acids. The most brooding, backward Lynch-Bages of the decade and one of the real successes of the vintage, this is a vibrant, tightly wound wine that is still an infant at age 10. Readers with bottles in their cellars might try one now out of curiosity, but this 2010 won't begin to hit its stride until age 20.
The medium to deep garnet colored 2009 Lynch Bages is boldly scented of crème de cassis, blackberry pie and baked plums with chocolate box, incense and underbrush suggestions plus a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, taut and well sustained in the mouth, it has a firm, grainy texture and a lively backbone lifting the black fruit core to a nice long finish.

Medium to full-bodied, taut and well sustained in the mouth, it has a firm, grainy texture and a lively backbone lifting the black fruit core to a nice long finish.
The 2006 Château Lynch Bages has another quite vivacious bouquet with lively black cherries, kirsch and wild mint aromas that do not hold back. I love the purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine supple tannin, well-judged acidity, a gentle grip in the mouth, and plenty of lightly spiced and surprisingly intense fruit on the bravura finish. The Cazes family oversaw a very sophisticated Lynch-Bages in this vintage that may well surpass many peoples' expectations.
As one might suspect, the dense purple-hued 2005 is still tannic, firm and young, with concentrated blackberry and cassis fruit, beautiful ripeness, a full-bodied mouthfeel and undeniable youthfulness. Tasting like a 2-3 year old wine rather one that has passed its sixth birthday, it is potentially one of the longest lived Lynch Bages since the remarkable 1989 and 2000.
A healthy, youthful dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoke, barbecued meats, black currants and new saddle leather. With full body and sweet tannin, this 2003 is strutting its stuff. Although it is not as fine as the 1989, 1990, or 2000, it is a complex, classic Pauillac to enjoy over the next decade.
The 2002 Lynch-Bages is showing brilliantly, after a four-hour double decant, wafting from the glass with an utterly classic nose of cassis and loamy soil mingled with hints of cedar and oak vanillin. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, with plenty of rich, powdery tannins and lively acids, as its structure begins to melt, the wine's depth and length is becoming more and more apparent. Like the best examples of this vintage, the 2002 Lynch-Bages has proven a real sleeper.
Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years.
Slightly austere, leafy and herbal, the fresh 1998 lacks concentration, fat and fruit depth. It reveals a hint of herbs interwoven with attractive red and black currant aromas, but the wine falls off on the palate, and requires drinking up as it is likely to become increasingly desiccated.

Château Lynch-Bages, a revered name in the world of wine and spirits, holds a rich and illustrious history. Located in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region in France, the estate's story can be traced back to the early 18th century. The name "Lynch-Bages" is derived from the combination of two families, the Lynch family of Irish descent and the Bages family, who together contributed significantly to the development and success of this esteemed wine producer.

The history of Château Lynch-Bages is marked by the influence of the Lynch family, who acquired the estate in 1749. Thomas Lynch, the son of an Irish immigrant, inherited the property and dedicated his life to the cultivation of the vineyards, establishing a name synonymous with excellence in the Bordeaux wine trade. It was during this time that the estate began producing wines that garnered attention and praise from critics and enthusiasts alike. In 1824, the property was sold to the Cayrou brothers, who further elevated the prestige of the estate through their passion for winemaking.

The terroir of Château Lynch-Bages plays a pivotal role in the production of their world-renowned wines. Situated on a plateau of deep gravel and clay, the estate spans 100 hectares of vineyards, planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grape varietals. The unique composition of the soil, coupled with the region's temperate maritime climate, enables the creation of wines that exhibit exceptional complexity and elegance.

Château Lynch-Bages is renowned for its meticulous and traditional approach to winemaking. Harvesting is carried out by hand, ensuring the highest quality grapes are selected for production. The grapes are then meticulously sorted, destemmed, and crushed before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Following fermentation, the wines are aged in French oak barrels, with a careful selection process determining the final blend for each vintage. This fastidious attention to detail has cemented Château Lynch-Bages' reputation as a producer of some of the finest wines in the Bordeaux region.

The wines of Château Lynch-Bages are characterised by their power, depth, and finesse. The estate's flagship wine, the Château Lynch-Bages Grand Vin, is a predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend, with a reputation for its remarkable ageing potential. This full-bodied, structured wine showcases an array of dark fruit flavours, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, alongside hints of cedar, tobacco, and spice. The estate also produces a second wine, Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas, which offers a more approachable, fruit-forward style, while still exhibiting the same elegance and refinement that has become synonymous with the Lynch-Bages name.

In addition to their extraordinary wines, Château Lynch-Bages is committed to sustainability and innovation. Their dedication to preserving the environment has led to the implementation of several eco-friendly practices, such as the use of natural predators to control pests, cover crops to prevent soil erosion, and the reduction of chemical inputs. The estate has also embraced modern technology, utilising precision viticulture techniques and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities, all while maintaining a deep respect for tradition.

In summary, Château Lynch-Bages is a prestigious wine producer with a storied history and a reputation for producing exceptional wines that are cherished by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Their unwavering commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation sets them apart as a true gem within the Pauillac appellation and the greater Bordeaux region. Their wines, crafted from the finest grape varietals and terroir, exemplify the elegance, complexity, and depth that has come to define 

the Château Lynch-Bages name. As a testament to their success, their wines continue to garner international acclaim and consistently rank highly in industry tastings and competitions.

One noteworthy aspect of Château Lynch-Bages is their focus on visitor experiences and wine tourism. The estate offers a variety of guided tours and tastings, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the rich history, tradition, and craftsmanship that define this esteemed wine producer. The tours encompass a journey through the vineyards, the winery, and the barrel cellars, where guests can gain an understanding of the intricate winemaking process and the passion that drives the dedicated team at Château Lynch-Bages.

Bordeaux, in het zuidwesten van Frankrijk, behoeft weinig introductie als een van de beroemdste, meest prestigieuze en productiefste wijngebieden ter wereld. De meeste Bordeaux-wijnen (bijna 90 procent van het productievolume) zijn de droge, medium en volle rode Bordeaux-blends die de reputatie van Bordeaux hebben gevestigd.

De beste (en duurste) daarvan zijn de wijnen van de grote châteaux van de Haut-Médoc en de rechteroever appellations Saint-Émilion en Pomerol. In de eerste ligt de nadruk (op topniveau) op cabernet sauvignon, in de tweede op merlot.

De legendarische rode wijnen worden aangevuld met witte wijnen van hoge kwaliteit op basis van Sémillon en Sauvignon Blanc. Deze variëren van droge witte wijnen die de beste uit de Bourgogne uitdagen (Pessac-Léognan is bijzonder vermaard) tot de zoete, gebottelde nectar van Sauternes.

Pauillac is een wijn appellation gelegen in de Médoc regio van Bordeaux, Frankrijk. Het staat bekend om de productie van enkele van de beste rode wijnen ter wereld, met een reputatie voor elegantie, complexiteit en een lange levensduur. Pauillac is de thuisbasis van enkele van de beroemdste châteaux in Bordeaux, waaronder Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour en Château Mouton Rothschild.

De geschiedenis van het wijnmaken in Pauillac gaat terug tot de Romeinse tijd, maar pas in de 17e eeuw begon de regio erkenning te krijgen voor zijn wijnen. De Nederlanders waren de eersten die het potentieel van de wijnen uit Pauillac herkenden en ze begonnen ze in grote hoeveelheden naar hun thuisland te importeren. In de 18e eeuw werden Pauillac wijnen populair in Engeland, en al snel werden ze geëxporteerd naar andere delen van Europa en de wereld.

De productiestijl in Pauillac is traditioneel, met een focus op kwaliteit boven kwantiteit. De wijngaarden zijn aangeplant op kiezelachtige bodems, die voor een uitstekende drainage zorgen en de warmte terugkaatsen naar de wijnstokken, wat de rijping van de druiven bevordert. De druiven die in Pauillac worden verbouwd zijn voornamelijk cabernet sauvignon, met kleinere hoeveelheden merlot, cabernet franc en petit verdot. De wijnen rijpen meestal 18-24 maanden in eiken vaten, wat complexiteit en diepte toevoegt aan het eindproduct.

De typische wijnen uit Pauillac hebben een volle body, met intense aroma's van zwarte bes, braam en cederhout. Ze staan bekend om hun stevige tannines, die de wijnen structuur en duurzaamheid geven. Pauillacwijnen worden vaak beschreven als wijnen met een "potloodlood" of "grafiet" karakter, wat een gevolg is van de kiezelachtige bodem waarop de druiven groeien. De wijnen staan ook bekend om hun vermogen om lang te rijpen, waarbij sommige van de beste jaargangen tientallen jaren meegaan.

Tot slot is Pauillac een wijndomein met een rijke geschiedenis en een reputatie voor het produceren van enkele van de beste rode wijnen ter wereld. De traditionele productiestijl, de kiezelachtige bodem en de focus op kwaliteit boven kwantiteit dragen allemaal bij aan het unieke karakter van Pauillac wijnen. Als je op zoek bent naar een wijn met elegantie, complexiteit en een lange levensduur, zoek dan niet verder dan Pauillac.
