Located just outside the city of Pauillac, within the village of Bages (hence the appended name on the label), Lynch-Bages is one of the best known Médoc estates. Currently operated by Jean-Charles Cazes, this chateau continues to challenge its 5th growth status. Surprisingly approachable when young, stunningly hedonistic when fully mature. A classically built powerhouse.
