“Rich, Complex, Powerful”
Impressive third wine of Lynch-Bages. Rich nose of blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, ripe plum, cedar, spice and liquorice. The palate is deep and concenrated, on top of the flavours as on the nose, we also find cedar, tobacco and oak. The wine is very well-structured and harmonious, with long and mouth-filling finish. It is a wonderful introduction to the property.

From the winery on Chateau Lynch-Bages:
"With its deep garnet red colour and purplish-blue hues, Lynch-Bages 2017 offers a wonderful freshness, characteristic of the vintage. The attack is supple, rich, with a good volume. It expresses an aromatic palette of black and red fruit with spicy notes. The wonderful maturity of all our grape varieties has produced tannins of an excellent quality."
Château Lynch-Bages is one of the best-known Médoc wineries situated in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux. It was classified as a Cinquièmes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. Since 1973, it has been owned by the enigmatic Jean-Michel Cazes and is now run by his son, Jean-Charles. Lynch Bages's vineyards are superbly sited on a plateau west of Pauillac town, in the small village of Bages. The 90 hectares of vineyards lie on deep gravel beds over limestone. Lynch Bages can be surprisingly soft and approachable when young. However, when fully mature, it develops a succulent richness and a heavenly bouquet of minty blackcurrants and cigar boxes.
