"Nugget Haut-Médoc
"A bright, elegant nose with distinctive orange zest, red fruits and a lighter floral touch, leading to a palate of open, easy structure extending to a core of slightly creamy red fruits to close. 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot. Drink now or cellar." (James Suckling 2018) Freshness and fruitiness are the hallmarks of this great second wine! Delivery in wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domain rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Supple, harmonious tannin, assertive fruit character, very well-balanced and ready to drink.
About the domain :
Philippe Castéja has worked hard to restore a superb family estate in the Pauillac hinterland. The aging of the vines and the construction of a high-performance work tool enable him to produce a supple, fleshy wine that is constantly improving. Its terroir enables it to open up before most of the wines in its appellation, which should make it more present on restaurant menus, with good value for money.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Owned since the 18th century by Count Lynch, until it was divided in two, giving Lynch Moussas and Lynch-Bages. Émile Castéja, who joined the family in 1919, took over the estate in 1969 and restructured the vines and winery. His son Philippe has been at the helm of this 35-hectare cru, close to Batailley, also owned by the Castéja family, since 2001.

Domain rated (guide 2020) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
For several years now, Philippe Castéja has been giving new impetus to this classified growth. Oenologist Denis Dubourdieu has carried out extensive work on the estate, starting with the reorganization of the vineyard. Over the last few vintages, the wines have progressed and the château benefits from technical facilities that should enable it to go even further. Lynch-Moussas produces a relatively fine, medium-bodied wine that can be drunk fairly quickly.

Wine rated (guide 2016) 16,5/ 20
About the wine:
Good start. Rather polite and fun to drink young. Very flattering! Although it ripens much earlier than the grand vin.
