The wine

Château Lynch-Bages 2019 is a premium red wine produced in the prestigious Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France. This wine, named after the historic Lynch-Bages estate, is known for its elegance, structure and ageing capacity, making it a true emblem of the appellation.

The 2019 vintage is characterised by its deep, almost opaque colour with purple hues. On the nose, it offers a complex and intense aromatic bouquet, dominated by ripe black fruits such as blackcurrants, blackberries and plums, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, and a subtle hint of sweet spices and chocolate from its ageing in French oak barrels.

On the palate, Château Lynch-Bages 2019 is a powerful and structured wine, with firm but polished tannins that ensure longevity. The well-balanced acidity brings freshness, while the finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste reminiscent of black fruits and spices. It is a wine that promises to evolve and gain in complexity over time, making it an excellent choice for collectors and lovers of great Bordeaux wines.

This wine pairs perfectly with red meats, game, lamb dishes and aged cheeses. Château Lynch-Bages 2019 is an exceptional example of the quality and winemaking tradition of Bordeaux, and is a wine that can be enjoyed now or saved for special occasions in the future.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Lynch-Bages was aged in 75% new barriques. Deep garnet-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with a magnificently expressive nose of blueberry compote, black cherry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles, plus suggestions of dark chocolate, licorice, tar and violets with a waft of hoisin. The medium to full-bodied palate is just as impactful as the nose, coating the mouth with juicy black berry and spicy layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with a refreshing earthiness coming through at the end.

Tasted blind. Particularly dark crimson. Discreet, fresh nose. Good, straightforward ripe, minty fruit with about the right amount of tannin underneath. Dry finish. Long. This was extremely popular with the group as well as with me – although I learnt subsequently that it was made in temporary premises while the new winery was being built, ready for the 2020 vintage.

— Jancis Robinson (20/01/2022)JancisRobinson.com Vintage 2018 - 18 JANCIS ROBINSON

Aromas of blackberries, cloves, licorice, dried leaves, graphite and black olives. It’s full-bodied with firm, tight tannins. Structured and tannic with beautiful austerity and a long, mineral and layered finish. The tannins grow on the palate. Try from 2026.
