Product description
Hailing from France, Chateau Lynch Bages is located in the famed Pauillac appellation within the Bordeaux region. This historic estate dates back to the 18th century and is currently owned by the Cazes family, renowned for their dedication to quality and innovation. The vineyard is celebrated for its deep gravel soils and meticulous vineyard management, which together underpin its reputation for producing powerful yet refined wines.
Wine Description
The 2022 Lynch Bages presents a deep garnet-purple hue. On the nose, it opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrants, ripe blackberries, and cassis, interwoven with hints of cedar, pencil shavings, and violets. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, delivering layers of dark fruits, tobacco, and subtle graphite notes. Firm, polished tannins provide structure, balanced by vibrant acidity that carries through to a long, savoury finish.
Accolades
-
James Suckling - 98 Points: A terrific Lynch from a hot vintage with blackcurrants, mint, dried lavender, graphite and thyme on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied, it shows fantastic tannins with a lovely texture that reminds me of cashmere, becoming slightly chewy in the finish. Give this four to five years of bottle age.
-
Jeb Dunnuck - 99 Points:The 2022 Château Lynch-Bages is based on 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, and 3% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Its inky purple hue is followed by a sensational Pauillac that has a blockbuster (and classic Lynch-Bages) style in its darker currants, smoke tobacco, lead pencil, and crushed stone-driven aromatics. These carry to a full-bodied, powerful, massively concentrated 2022 that has a dense, layered mid-palate, velvety tannins, flawless balance, and a rare mix of power and elegance. This is a château that’s clearly firing on all cylinders, and this magical beauty will need a decade (or more) to hit the early stages of its prime drinking window. Don't miss it!
Food Pairing
Pair this Pauillac classic with grilled lamb chops, roast beef, or aged cheddar to accentuate its bold structure and layered complexity. Together, they create an unforgettable dining experience.
