    Bold, vibrant, and effortlessly smooth Pauillac | Grand Cru Classé

    "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."
    -Wine Advocate

    "One of the most flamboyant wines of the appellation. The fruit is explosive, the palate is bursting with flavor, and the fine tannins coat the mouth. Impressive in its indulgence."

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    The 2018 vintage was a year of extremes. It started off cold and persistently wet throughout the winter and spring. However, the weather flipped in July, bringing a hot summer that perfectly ripened the crop. This set up an ideal harvest window from September 19th to October 9th. The resulting grapes were pristine, boasting excellent sugar levels and wonderfully developed tannins.

    Château Lynch-Bages is a prestigious Bordeaux winery located in Pauillac, classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Médoc Classification. Purchased by the Drouillard family in 1728 by which it then came through marriage to the Lynch family who had moved from Galway to Bordeaux in the sixteenth century. Renowned for its powerful, age-worthy red wines. Owned by the Cazes family, its wines are celebrated for their rich structure, dark fruit flavours, and refined tannins, making Lynch-Bages a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts.
