About this wine

Chateau Lynch-Bages Pauillac 2019 is a commanding expression of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, crafted with precision and power. Meet the Producer Château Lynch-Bages is a historic estate located in the heart of Pauillac, Bordeaux. Classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Médoc classification, it has long surpassed its ranking in reputation and quality. Under the stewardship of the Cazes family—first Jean-Michel and now his son Jean-Charles—the château has undergone significant modernisation, including the construction of a state-of-the-art winemaking facility. Despite its evolution, Lynch-Bages remains deeply rooted in tradition, producing wines that are both timeless and forward-looking. Terroir The vineyards of Château Lynch-Bages stretch across the gravelly soils of the Pauillac appellation, renowned for their excellent drainage and heat retention. These deep gravel beds, interspersed with clay, provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive. The proximity to the Gironde estuary moderates temperatures, offering a balance of warmth and freshness that contributes to the wine’s structure and ageing potential. The estate’s meticulous vineyard management ensures optimal ripeness and phenolic maturity, vintage after vintage. Wine Style The 2019 vintage of Château Lynch-Bages is a bold and structured red, marked by its depth and intensity. It opens with aromas of black cherry, cassis, and graphite, followed by layers of liquorice, cedar, and black olive on the palate. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity lend the wine remarkable energy and ageing capacity. With its hallmark concentration and elegance, the 2019 is reminiscent of the legendary 1989 vintage, yet carries the youthful vigour of modern Pauillac. It is a wine destined for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Grape Varieties Cabernet Sauvignon (73%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (10%), Petit Verdot (2%).
