The property

Located at the gates of Pauillac, the Château Lynch Bages is a property that has marked the history of Médoc. If the Bages terroir has been known since the 16th century, it gained fame in the 18th century. Led by the son of an Irish citizen named Thomas Lynch, the Bages cru was recognized at the Paris universal exhibition. Entered into the fold of the J-M Cazes family on the eve of World War II, Château Lynch-Bages is one of the most beautiful references of the Pauillac appellation.

The vineyard

The Blanc de Lynch-Bages is a dry white Bordeaux wine from a 7-hectare terroir planted on a soil of Garonne gravels.

The vintage

The 2024 vintage begins with a mild and very rainy winter, leading to early bud break. The wet spring imposes a high sanitary pressure, controlled thanks to the reactivity of the teams. The dry and moderate summer promotes progressive maturation and preserves the freshness of the grapes, complemented by beneficial rains at the end of the cycle. The harvest, carried out in mid-September under beautiful sunshine, allows a rigorous selection of berries, vinified according to their profile.

Vinification and aging

Manual harvest with sorting in the vineyard and on the table. The aging is for a duration of 6 months in barrels (50% new wood), on lees.

Blend

Sauvignon blanc (77%), muscadelle (12%) and sémillon (11%).
