Château Lynch-Bages is a prestigious Fifth Growth estate located just outside the town of Pauillac. The property was purchased in 1939 by Jean-Charles Cazes, and it is currently managed by his great-grandson, also named Jean-Charles Cazes. The 1970 vintage is a textbook of classic Pauillac at full maturity, revealing notes of red currants, cedar, tobacco, leafy herbs and earthy elements. Just delightful.
The 1970 Lynch-Bages is served from double-magnum at the estate. It has a potent nose. Its menthol component is pretty conspicuous in this larger format. A bit rustic after five decades, yet it coheres wonderfully in the glass, with hints of black truffle, clove and pencil box emerging. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dusty black fruit, yet the acidity imparts sufficient tension. This old-school Pauillac is a little ferrous toward the finish, yet there is backbone here. It feels long, if just a bit coarse on the finish. Drink soon. Tasted at Mr. B's birthday lunch at the château.

Chateau Lynch-Bages

Chateau Lynch-Bages

Situated in the celebrated Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux, Château Lynch Bages uses around 60% of its 100 hectares to produce its first wine (a 5th growth in the 1855 classification) in addition to producing a second red, Echo de Lynch Bages. These wines display superb Cabernet Sauvignon character, together with smaller percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot making up the blend. A wonderful example of the power and elegance of truly great Pauillac: gloriously supple and smooth with a tannic backbone.

A white wine, known as Blanc de Lynch Bages, is also produced in very small quantities. Made from an elegant blend of the classic white Bordeaux varietals, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle, the resulting wines display exhilarating freshness and dried apricot complexity.
