Wine Description:

Garnet-purple color. Lovely complex nose revealing roses, chocolate, blueberries and blackberries perfumes along with scrubland and smoke notes. In the mouth, this wine is fresh with a mineral profile.

The First Wine, which is an appellation contrôlée Pauillac and was ranked as a Classified Growth in 1855, is renowned for its power and ageing potential. It displays an attractive, deep, dark, ruby colour, while the nose is complex with red berry and black fruit aromas, such as blackberry and blackcurrant. Rich, round and with great density, the palate has a full, velvety mouth-feel with ripe tannins, followed by a delicious lingering, slightly spicy finish.

Producer Description

Ranked as a Pauillac Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, Château Lynch-Moussas was acquired by Jean Castéja in 1919 and has been one of the jewels of the family properties for a century. Passed down to his son Émile, and then by him to his daughter Chantal and his son Philippe, the estate has benefited from the attentions of each generation of the Castéja family, who have cared for, developed, modernised and enhanced this Grand Cru d’Excellence.

The vineyard of Château Lynch-Moussas stretches over 62 hectares in the appellations of Pauillac and Haut-Médoc. Made up of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, it has been nurtured with meticulous care for 100 years, which enables it today to perform at the highest levels alongside the greatest Pauillac growths.
