Chateau Lynch Bages

There are few chateaux that have marked the history of the Médoc like that of Château Lynch-Bages. It is on the "Batges" lands near Pauillac where this great wine adventure began in the 17th century. The Château, then known as "Cru de Lynch", was owned by Thomas Lynch, son of John Lynch, a native of Galway (Ireland) and a Bordeaux trader. The reputation of Thomas Lynch's wines was such that the Château was ranked among the Fifth Classified Growths in the prestigious classification of 1855 in honour of the World Fair in Paris.

The history of the great wines of Château Lynch-Bages starts with the type of care given to the vines. Since 2006, the estate has used satellite technology to divide up its parcels. The wines take the time to build up their personality that start with the variety and terroir, and then progress to maturity and end with the harvest. After maceration, running-off, pressing, and malolactic fermentation all come at a decisive moment during the wine making process, which requires all the expertise of the estate’s technical teams.

Recognised as one of the most sought-after Classified Growths in Bordeaux, Château Lynch-Bages offers the pleasure of powerful, opulent and ever-precise wines, vintage after vintage. Elegant and structured, the wines are generous in their youth while becoming more aromatically complex as they age.
