Château Lynch-Bages Echo De Lynch-Bages Pauillac Tinto

Description

Although there are records of the Bages territory dating back to the 16th century, the history of wine production in the region truly began in the 18th century. From 1749 to 1824, the vineyard was owned by Thomas Lynch, the son of an Irishman from Galway who worked as a trader in Bordeaux. Thomas Lynch managed these lands wisely and produced high‑quality wines under the name “Cru de Lynch.” Later, Jean “Lou Janou” Cazes, a “Montagnol” (a term used to describe farmers from the austere valleys of Ariège), came to Médoc to make a living. In the 1930s, General Félix de Vial, a descendant of the Cayrou family, leased the vineyard to Jean‑Charles Cazes, the son of “Lou Janou” and a farmer at Château Ormes de Pez in Saint‑Estèphe. Cazes bought both properties at the start of World War II. Lynch‑Bages has been managed by the Cazes family ever since. Echo de Lynch‑Bages displays the taste, aromas, and persistence characteristic of Pauillac wines. It is the result of a meticulous selection of the newest vines in Lynch‑Bages and specific plots that represent between 25 % and 40 % of the harvest, depending on the vintage. Echo de Lynch‑Bages is round, soft, and seductive in its youth, with exceptional potential for bottle ageing. (illustrative image)
