Description

Vibrant white wine with a blend of citrus and tropical fruit notes. It offers a bright and lively character, with aromas of white peach, lemon curd, and hints of lime blossom. The palate is fresh and balanced, with a creamy texture and notes of lemon, mango, and peach. It has a long, refreshing finish and is described as having a good depth and length.. Close to Pauillac, the Lynch-Bages Estate owes part of its name to the ancient hamlet of Bages, which for centuries was home to generations of winemakers. The vineyard was established and then expanded by the Déjean family. Its great wine history began in the eighteenth century when, in 1728, it became the property of Chevalier Drouillard. Upon his death, Pierre Drouillard bequeathed the estate to his daughter, Elizabeth, who was the wife of Thomas Lynch. The property thus passed into the Lynch family. The estate was purchased by Jean-Charles Cazes in 1934. His successors, André, Jean Michel and nowadays Jean-Charles Cazes, have worked tirelessly to develop and promote this well-know château included in the 1855 classification. In 2017, a renovation project for Lynch-Bages began in collaboration with Chien Chung (Didi) Pei. After four years of work, the 2020 vintage, the first harvest vinified in the new facilities, opens a new chapter in the life of the estate.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions, known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends. The region’s diverse soils and maritime climate contribute to the complexity of its wines. Bordeaux is divided into several sub-regions, including Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol, each producing distinct styles. The wines are characterized by their structure, elegance, and rich flavors. Bordeaux’s classification system, established in 1855, highlights the region’s top estates, known as Grand Cru Classé. Some of these wines are highly sought after by collectors and known for their exceptional quality.
