Château Lynch Bages
“The history of Lynch-Bages, situated in the lands of “Batges” at the entrance to Pauillac, is emblematic of the Médoc region.
The Lynch-Bages vineyard (1855 Grand Cru Classé), overlooks the Gironde estuary and stretches over a beautiful gravelly hilltop. Formerly owned by the illustrious Lynch family, of Irish descent, the estate was acquired by the Cazes family in 1939.
Winemaking at Lynch-Bages evolved in step with oenological knowledge. Following a thorough study of the vineyard of Lynch-Bages and the new intra-plot distribution, the technical team began to draw up specifications to design a new winery taking on board viticultural developments. The new winery project included the latest functional equipments such as destemmers, crushers, horizontal presses, stainless steel vats, instruments for measuring and regulating temperatures, and other highly sophisticated equipment.”
