Château Lynch-Bages is one of the most iconic estates in Bordeaux, with a winemaking history dating back to the 17th century. Developed as an "echo" of this prestigious estate's first wine, this wine benefits from the same attentive care, from the vine to the cellar. It offers the flavour, aroma and finish characteristic of the wines of Pauillac and Château Lynch-Bages.

94/100 Points - James Suckling
"Dark currants with blackberries and a touch of pencil shavings. Good perception of freshness despite the ripe black fruit. Tight, full-bodied and fine-grained on the palate. Long, structured and juicy. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot and 5% cabernet franc.

"A serious Echo that gives a good entry into the main wine. There are a ton of tannins here, and it has the inky, slate, crushed rock character of Pauillac. Carefully-extracted cassis and bilberry fruit, this is measured, one to look out for, needs a few years to relax."

91-93/100 Points - Thomas Parker MW, Farr Vintners

"Deep ruby in colour, the Echo really does fall into the Lynch Bages style. Black fruit dominates the nose and crunchy, grippy tannins frame the palate. Unlike most second wines, here the focus is on structure and rich black fruit. It really does offer the taste of Lynch Bages, and will need several years ageing before it is is ready to drink. Chewy, serious and deep with a lick of liquorice and tar on the finish."

Tasting Notes:
Echo de Lynch-Bages 2022 displays lifted aromas of fresh redcurrant and raspberry. The palate unfolds with a round tannic structure perfectly balanced between elegance and freshness.
