"This is a very good second wine to enjoy over the next decade! ~ Vinous"
"Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas 2019 has a bold and fruity nose of blackcurrant and redcurrant. The palate is fresh and harmonious on the attack, quite precise, offering black fruits tinged with graphite and a concentrated, slightly grainy finish. This is a very good second wine to be enjoyed over the next decade.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Philippe Castéja has worked hard to restore a superb family estate located in the Pauillac hinterland. The aging of the vines and the construction of high-performance working tools have made it possible to produce a supple, full-bodied wine that is constantly improving. Its terroir allows it to open up earlier than most wines in its appellation, which should make it more prominent on restaurant menus, offering good value for money.
Decanter
Wine rated (2022 guide) 92/100
About wine:
There are notes of sweet cherry on the nose, and great juicy intensity on the palate as well. It's lively, and although the tannins come into play surrounded by notes of roasted coffee, it's a pleasant glass of wine. On the darker spectrum with licorice and tobacco. But I like it. Tasted twice, and rated higher the second time. 2023-2030
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Owned since the 18th century by Count Lynch, until it was divided into two, giving rise to Lynch Moussas and Lynch-Bages. Émile Castéja, who joined the family in 1919, took over the estate in 1969 and restructured the vineyards and winery. His son Philippe has been at the helm of this 35-hectare estate, close to Batailley, also owned by the Castéja family, since 2001.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 89/100
Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Philippe Castéja has been breathing new life into this classified growth for several years now. Oenologist Denis Dubourdieu has carried out extensive work here, starting with the restoration of the vineyard. Over the last few vintages, the wines have improved and the château now benefits from technical facilities that should enable it to go even further. Lynch-Moussas produces a relatively fine wine of medium body, which can be drunk fairly quickly.

About wine:
Notes of ripe blackberries and black cherries with hints of licorice, nutmeg, tar, and chocolate. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with viscous tannins and savory fruitiness. Tight and slightly chewy. Try after 2024.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 89/100
About wine:
Fruity and spicy bouquet, good intensity, with notes of blackberries and graphite complemented by a refreshing hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine has body and tension. Its tannins are fresh, precise, and perfectly integrated. A fruity and balanced wine. 2023-2033
