Bordeaux,
France
One Of The Finest Pauillacs Of The Vintage
Description
Château Lynch-Bages is one of the most iconic estates in Bordeaux, with a winemaking history dating back to the 17th century. The estate is named after Thomas Lynch, whose father emigrated from Galway in 1691 and the influential Cazes family have owned the estate since the mid-19th century.
The 2020 vintage is the first to be crafted in the Château’s new state-of-the-art winery. It is widely considered to be one of the finest Pauillac’s of the vintage and one of the best Château Lynch-Bages of recent years.
Tasting Note
Lynch-Bages 2020 is beautifully sun-ripened, with freshness and, good acidity. This is underpinned by very ripe but powerful tannins, matching the levels found in ’18 and ’19.
