2023 Château Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 71% Cabernet Sauvignon; 24% Merlot; 3% Cabernet Franc; 2% Petit Verdot.

The 2023 has the same tannin measurement as the monumental 2022 (IPT 95). Although of similar intensity to the previous vintage, it is more sculpted and architectural. Historically a wine so expressive of cassis and generosity, this version has precise notes of filigree minerality and dark, earthy spice. The new winery has added precision and density from the extraction. It feels like a new chapter in the history of Lynch-Bages as the wine evolves into a more complete and assertive expression of its previous self. This is a serious wine and one for long ageing.

Pauillac

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
