About Ch. Lynch Bages
The Lynch family originally comes from Galway in Ireland. After the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, John Lynch moved to Bordeaux. His descendants quickly found success, shifting from the wool trade to wine export, and in 1749 they acquired the Domaine de Bages.
The estate changed hands several times in the 19th century and was purchased in 1939 by the Cazes family, who had already been helping to restore the then-declining property since 1934. Under the leadership of Jean-Charles Cazes, quality was further elevated to its current level.
Château Lynch-Bages is a Cinquième Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, located on the Bages plateau just south of Pauillac. The vineyard covers approximately 100 hectares, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (71%), Merlot (22%), Petit Verdot (3%) and Cabernet Franc (4%), with an average vine age of 40 years. Vinification is carried out entirely in stainless steel, with an annual production of around 35,000 cases.
Since 2018, they have held the French HVE Level 3 certification (Haute Valeur Environnementale): precision viticulture, a strongly reduced use of herbicides and insecticides, and great attention to biodiversity and soil management.
