Château LYNCH-BAGES 2015
Classified as a Fifth Growth in 1855, Château Lynch-Bages is located on the Bages plateau, in the heart of the Pauillac appellation. Renowned for its powerful and generous style, it is one of the essential references of Bordeaux's Left Bank. The estate, run by the Cazes family, has successfully combined tradition and modernity to produce wines of exemplary consistency, renowned for their aging potential and aromatic intensity.
The 2015 vintage benefited from ideal weather conditions, marked by a hot, dry summer followed by beneficial rains in September, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly. In Pauillac, this year is distinguished by dense, precise wines with vibrant fruit and remarkable structure. Lynch-Bages 2015 perfectly illustrates this balanced, sunny vintage: concentration, aromatic richness, and freshness combine in an already attractive vintage with long aging potential.
The deep, intense color precedes a complex nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry, supported by notes of cedar, licorice, and spice. On the palate, the ample, velvety texture reveals powerful yet finely polished tannins, balanced by a beautiful mineral freshness. The long, persistent finish showcases all the nobility of Pauillac with racy elegance and impressive depth. A great Lynch-Bages, promising superb cellaring.
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
