Description
The power and elegance of a great Pauillac
Daring, innovative and with a reputation for often being the last to harvest, Jean-Charles Cazes defined the style of Lynch-Bages in the 1930's. The wine's distinctive character has earned it a place amongst Pauillac's greatest. It combines structure, finesse and elegance, offering generous aromas in its youth and developing deeper complexities with bottle age.
Outstandingly consistent quality
The estate's reputation as a top quality wine producer took off in 1945 after a series of exceptional vintages. Since then, Lynch-Bages has continued to produce excellent wines, even during years considered difficult in the Bordeaux region. The wine's deep colour and tannic backbone have become part of its signature style. Jean-Michel Cazes, grandson of Jean-Charles, has worked hard to develop and refine the wine's supple and smooth structure over the years. Vintage after vintage, the estate's precise and excellent winemaking techniques have served to firmly establish Lynch-Bages reputation for consistent quality.

Tasting
Lynch-Bages 2015 features a bright, deep color with purple highlights. The nose is expressive on aromas of blackcurrant and black fruits, mixed with empyreumatic notes of aging. The attack is straightforward and the full-bodied mid-palate remains supple. The very present tannic structure remains silky, the persistent finish illustrates a vintage of great maturity.
