Echo de Lynch Bages 2023 (Second Wine of Château Lynch Bages)

DESCRIPTION
Located at the gates of Pauillac, the Château Lynch Bages is an estate that has marked the history of the Médoc. While the Bages terroir has been known since the 16th century, it gained fame in the 18th century. Under the leadership of the son of an Irish citizen named Thomas Lynch, the Bages cru was recognised at the Paris universal exhibition. Entering the fold of the J-M Cazes family on the eve of the Second World War, Château Lynch Bages is one of the most beautiful references of the Pauillac appellation.

Château Lynch Bages is a Pauillac wine from a 105-hectare vineyard planted on Garonne gravels. The parcel division of the vineyard is refined thanks to the use of satellite technologies, preserving the viticultural genetic heritage of the estate. The homogeneous geology of the terroir allows a good water supply to the vine on a territory where the climate is moderate.

TASTING NOTE
Notes of cassis, dark berries, cedar and spice box introduce the 2023 Echo de Lynch Bages, a medium to full-bodied wine that is layered and structured, offering good depth at the core and concluding with a somewhat firm, spicy finish. Despite its rather classic, gently earthy profile, it is already approachable today. Drink 2026-2036.
