Chateau Lynch-Bages 5eme Cru Classe 2020
Country: France Region: Bordeaux (Pauillac)
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Blend/Cabernet Franc
Vintage: 2020 Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: Chateau Lynch-Bages
Description:
Château Lynch-Bages is situated in the Pauillac commune of the Médoc region in Bordeaux. The grand vin, which is made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, is known for its structure and intensity, and can age for 20 years or more. It ranks among the best in the appellation.
The property in the village of Bages takes the other part of its name from Thomas Lynch, a Bordeaux merchant of Irish lineage who owned the property from 1749 to 1824. It was rated a fifth growth in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855, although the reputation of the property, now in the hands of the Cazes family, soared from 1945 after a string of excellent vintages.
The vineyards are situated on a plateau west of Pauillac town on gravel, chalk and sand soils. There are 90 hectares (220 acres) of vineyards, 75 percent of which are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon. The rest is planted to Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Petit Verdot.
The 2020 vintage is the first to be crafted in the Château’s new state-of-the-art winery. It is widely considered to be one of the finest Pauillac’s of the vintage and one of the best Château Lynch-Bages of recent years.
Tasting Notes:
Lynch-Bages 2020 is beautifully sun-ripened, with freshness and, good acidity. This is underpinned by very ripe but powerful tannins, matching the levels found in ’18 and ’19.
