Origin and background
The 2016 vintage, marked by a hot, dry summer followed by a cool, long autumn, enabled the grapes to reach optimum ripeness. Château Lynch-Bages, situated on the deep gravelly soil typical of Pauillac, delivers a powerful, structured and elegant wine, true to the reputation of this grand cru.

Nose: Intense and complex. Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), black cherry, spices (pepper, liquorice), woody notes (cedar, tobacco) and mineral nuances.
