The wine of Chteau Lynch-Bages (1855 Grand Cru Class) is part of the lineage of the great Pauillac wines. Blended mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines structure and finesse, elegance and longevity. It is further distinguished by its opulence. Generous right from its youth, it develops more flavours and greater complexity as it matures.

Although classified as a fifth growth of 1855 Classification, Lynch Bages has showed record of over-performance. The style of the wines has refined over the years, gaining suppleness and softness, whilst their consistency has been established over time. Then as now, Chteau Lynch-Bages has been characterised by its extraordinary qualitative homogeneity. Powerful, elegant and open, vintage after vintage, the wine has acquired greater accuracy, adding distinction to the hedonistic character that made its reputation.

Echo de Lynch Bages is the second label from this Chateau, which displays savoury aromas of fresh red fruits. Round, mellow and seductive in its youth, its ability to age is outstanding.
