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

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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.
Decanter
Rated wine (guide 2022) 92/100
About the wine:
There are notes of sweet cherry on the nose, and great juicy intensity on the palate too. It's lively, and although the tannins come into play surrounded by roasted coffee notes, it's an enjoyable glass of wine. On the darker spectrum with licorice and tobacco. But I like it. Tasted 2 times, and rated higher the second time. 2023-2030
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (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.

Rated wine (guide 2023) 89/100
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates 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.

About the wine:
Notes of ripe blackberries and black cherries with hints of licorice, nutmeg, tar and chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, with viscous tannins and luscious fruit. Tight and slightly chewy. To be tried after 2024.

About the wine:
Fruity, spicy bouquet of good intensity, with blackberry and graphite notes complemented by a refreshing eucalyptus note. Full-bodied and taut on the palate. The tannins are fresh, precise and perfectly integrated. A fruity, well-balanced wine. 2023-2033
