In a few words ...

chateau lynch bages covers an area of 100 hectares planted with over 50% cabernet sauvignon, combined with merlot and cabernet franc.
the geographical area of pauillac lies in the heart of the medoc peninsula. The terroir is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines have an intense, deep color. The nose offers aromas of red and black fruits, spicy notes and hints of roasting. This bouquet is supported by a fine tannic structure. Pauillac wines are great for laying down.
The 2011 harvest was exceptionally early. Temperatures were very high in early April. Flowering took place around mid-May, 3 weeks ahead of schedule. The promising vintage was delayed by rain and low temperatures in July. Diseases appeared in August. But the warm weather returned after August 15 to allow a fine harvest.
