The Château Lynch-Bages is one of those illustrious properties that have contributed to the reputation of the great wines of Pauillac.
Located on the land of "Batges", a gravelly hillock overlooking the Gironde estuary, its history begins in the 17th century when it was owned by Thomas Lynch, a Bordeaux merchant of Irish origin. It was at that time called the "Lynch cru" and remained in the family until 1824.
In 1855, the Château Lynch-Bages obtained the title of Fifth Grand Cru Classé in the famous classification of Médoc wines for the Paris World Fair.
His modern history has been written by the Cazes family, which still owns it. In 1939, Jean-Charles Cazes, who already owned Château Les Ormes de Pez at Saint-Estèphe, bought Domaine and breathed new life into it by raising its standard. When he died in 1972, his grandson Jean-Michel Cazes took over the reins and gradually, thanks to numerous technical renovations and by surrounding himself with the right people, he was able to produce a wine on a par with the great Pauillac. Since 2006, it is his son Jean-Charles who manages it, always with one objective in mind, that of producing the most precise wines possible, marked with the imprint of the Cazes.
The 2023 vintage stood out for its pronounced alternation of weather conditions, requiring sustained anticipation and responsiveness from our teams to protect the vines in an unstable and complex climatic context.
The success of the 2023 vintage was largely attributed to human involvement, both in the vines and in the cellar. This balance between human intervention and natural forces limited the damage caused by mildew.
The different grape varieties were able to perfect their ripeness in excellent conditions, and the harvest went off without a hitch. The health of the grapes was excellent, and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes showed excellent quality, with small, highly concentrated berries.
The 2023 vintage offers a clean, fruity aromatic palette. The wines are well-balanced, with supple tannins and good acidity. This new vintage stands out for its purity, freshness, finesse and elegance, promising pleasant surprises in future tastings.
