Description:
A perennial overachiever, Lynch Bages has made a name for itself over the decades for not just being one of the great producers of Bordeaux, but also of representing excellent value. Owned by the same family – the Cazes – since the 1930s, Lynch’s reputation was initially built up by Jean-Charles Cazes, a real pioneer in Bordeaux during the 1950s and 1960s. He was the first winemaker in Bordeaux at that time to take the risk of picking later, becoming instrumental in steering Bordeaux towards a richer, riper style.
In recent years, the Château has invested heavily in improving the vineyards using satellite technology combined with surveys on soil quality to enable precise intra-plot vineyard management and vinification. They have also completely renovated the cellars and vat room, which were designed by famed architect Chien Chung Pei (son of the world renowned I.M. Pei).

"The 2024 Lynch-Bages was cropped at just under 30 hl/ha and aged in 75% new oak for a planned 18 months. It has some initial reduction that is shaken off after several minutes. Very pure blackberry and blueberry fruit emerges with hints of melted tar and graphite, and iodine eventually lends more complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and quite focused with grippy tannins that are impressive for their fineness. The 2024 possesses palpable mineralité and a poised finish. Though this does not touch the skyscraping heights that have been achieved in recent years, it is a "capable" Lynch-Bages that might warrant two or three years in the cellar and drink well for up to 15 years or possibly longer."

"The 2024 Lynch-Bages is packed. Cedar, scorched earth, licorice, incense and pipe tobacco weave through a core of dark, sepia-toned fruit. I especially admire the long, polished finish and overall balance here. The 2024 is a virile Lynch Bages with a bright future. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Ruby with violet edging, opens to show chalk and slate tannins, giving a sense of restraint and grip, this is savoury and juicy with plenty of cassis fruits, delivers Pauillac consistency in an inconsistent vintage, and also it is just rather delicious. 75% new oak. 3.67 pH,"
