A winery that knows how to combine its long history and the winemaking tradition of Bordeaux, on one of the most important soils of this region, with experimentation and technology.
Château Lynch-Bages is one of the Gran Cru Classé of the appellation of Pauillac, in the Medoc: on the “left bank” of the Bordeaux region. Pauillac has always been considered as one of the most suitable sites in the region, for its exposure and for the soils rich in gravel, poorly compact and draining, perfect for the cultivation of vines and for the presence, in this magical place, of some the most valued Château of the entire appellation.
The Irish Lynch family already sensed the potential of these lands received thanks to a marriage in the 17th century, and they began trading wine. After a few changes of ownership and the inclusion, in 1855, in the register as Gran Cru Classé, in the 30s Jean-Charles Cazes, winemaker who managed other vineyards in the area, was contacted to rent and work the vineyards of Château Lynch -Bages, which at that point needed important supervision. This opportunity allowed the young man, enterprising and experienced but certainly lacking the economic means, to work and experiment on one of the happiest lands in the region and to fall in love with the property, until at the beginning of the Second World War, he finally managed to buy it.
From that moment, the Château entered an extremely fortunate period, under the expert and enterprising guidance of the family. Jean-Charles and Jean-Michel, his brother and engineer, started a series of important experiments and innovations: the cellar is among the first ones to use the force of gravity for the transfers of must and wine, they inserted technologies in the cellar and also in the vineyard, with soil study systems. One of the “signatures” of the producer is the parcelling of the plots, which remain separate during fermentation. For these reasons, as well as thanks to the undeniable quality of the wines, which received a particular peak after 2006, this Château is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after in the region, particularly in an extremely valued vintage like 2011.
