Lynch Bages: The Distinctive Legacy of the Cazes Family
Nestled on the outskirts of Pauillac, with a commanding view of the Gironde estuary, Lynch-Bages, designated as a 1855 Grand Cru Classé, extends across one of the commune's most beautiful gravelly hilltops. Originally under the ownership of the esteemed Lynch family, of Irish heritage, the estate was purchased in 1939 by Jean-Charles Cazes.
Blending the realms of wine and culture, the Cazes family has positioned Lynch-Bages at the core of a lifestyle. In 2006, Jean-Michel Cazes passed the torch to his son, Jean-Charles, who remains steadfast in upholding the estate's exacting standards. The family has dedicated several years to meticulous vineyard work, pursuing an unwavering commitment to excellence. To further this pursuit, the Cazes family has invested in state-of-the-art facilities that match their lofty aspirations. The inauguration of the new winery in 2020 marked a significant milestone. Designed with a gravity-based approach, it draws inspiration from 19th-century vinification methods while seamlessly integrating modern knowledge and precision.
The wines of Lynch-Bages serve as a testament to the family's generosity and unwavering pursuit of excellence.
The 2024 vintage
The year 2024 began with a mild, very rainy winter, leading to an early budbreak. Spring brought intense disease pressure, requiring constant attention from the vineyard team to protect the vines. Gradually, the vineyard regained its balance. A dry, temperate summer followed, encouraging even ripening while preserving the grapes’ freshness and aromatic complexity. A few late-season rains helped perfect berry development ahead of a carefully timed and selective harvest.
Despite the challenges, the 2024 vintage has produced wines that are elegant, balanced, and refined — true to the classic Bordeaux style. A genuine expression of the terroir, with outstanding aging potential.
Tasting notes:
''Château Lynch-Bages 2024 displays a deep garnet hue and an expressive bouquet combining black fruits with menthol and spicy notes. The palate is round and silky, supported by a vibrant freshness. The tannins are smooth and well-balanced, leading to a long finish that highlights the elegance and purity of this vintage.''- Nicolas Labenne, Technical Director
