    The Château Lynch Bages vineyard stretches across Garonne gravel soils, characteristic of the Pauillac region. These well-drained soils encourage deep root development, allowing for optimal expression of the grape varieties. The oceanic climate, with hot summers and mild winters, contributes to the perfect ripening of the grapes. The vines are carefully cultivated and receive meticulous attention throughout the year, guaranteeing consistent quality and respect for the environment.

    Owner and history

    Château Lynch-Bages is currently managed by the Cazes family, who have preserved the family heritage while modernizing winemaking practices. Jean-Michel Cazes, an emblematic figure, played a key role in the estate's revival in the 1970s. Today, his daughter, Carine Cazes, and her team continue to enhance the estate's international reputation. Their commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in wines that tell the story of their terroir, while also adhering to sustainable practices.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking of Echo de Lynch Bages 2018 is rooted in a tradition of excellence. The hand-harvested grapes are carefully selected before being vinified separately according to their grape variety and terroir. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving freshness and fruitiness. Aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, imparts complexity and structure to the wine. This meticulous process, blending tradition and innovation, results in a wine that perfectly reflects the identity of Château Lynch Bages.
