The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is a powerful and polished Pauillac, showing the estate at the top of its game. Dense yet refined, it has firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, structured finish that speaks to its aging potential. A classic Lynch-Bages.
The 2019 growing season in Bordeaux was marked by a warm, dry summer and timely rain in September, yielding perfectly ripe grapes with excellent balance. The result is wines that combine richness and depth with freshness and precision - widely regarded as one of the region’s greatest vintages of the decade.
Château Lynch-Bages, a Fifth Growth in the 1855 classification, is one of Pauillac’s most respected estates, beloved for its consistent quality and approachable yet age-worthy style. Under the Cazes family’s stewardship since the 1930s, the château has become a benchmark for classically styled Bordeaux.
What the critics say:
"The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is stunningly good, and it's going to be interesting to compare this to the 2018 over the coming decades. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 75% new French oak, its dense purple hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, freshly sharpened cedar pencil, spring flowers, smoke, and graphite, with an almost liqueur of rocks-like minerality. A massive, incredibly concentrated Lynch-Bages, Jean-Charles has hit a home run in the vintage, and this sensational wine has building, perfect tannins, insane purity, and a finish that won't quit. It has the purity, finesse, balance, and depth to offer pleasure not only today but to evolve for 40 to 50 years. Smart money will hide these for a good 7-8 years, but wow, what a wine. Bravo."
"The 2019 Lynch Bages is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel, if not moreso. What a wine! Towering and vertical in its bearing, the 2019 is a total stunner. There is plenty of Lynch Bages charm, but what distinguishes the 2019 most is its spine of tannin and energy. Time in the glass brings out sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and pomegranate and mint. The 2019 is a great, great, great Lynch Bages. It reminds me of the epic 1989, but with the youthful grip of this vintage. A towering Pauillac, the 2019 Lynch Bages will make a great addition to any cellar."
