Château Lynch-Moussas
Following the division of Count Lynch's estate in two in the 19th century, two great Bordeaux names emerged: Lynch-Bages and Lynch-Moussas. The Castéja family, already owners of the Pauillac and Duhart-Milon estates, acquires Lynch-Bages and Lynch-Moussas. Château Lynch-Moussas in the early 20th century, retaining the house and a large part of the land. 

Today, Émile Castéja's son Philippe Castéja is at the head of this 55-hectare vineyard, producing only red wine. The Lynch-Moussas vineyard is planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot on a silica-gravel soil. The arrival of Philippe Castéja in 2001 gave new impetus to this classified growth, notably by renovating the vineyard and investing in new technical facilities to further raise the standard of the wines. In 2001, Lynch-Moussas also launched its second wine, Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas.

"This 2020 illustrates the fine current form of the vintage, which deserves your full attention!"

"The attack is incredibly greedy, carried by a savory velvety texture. The subtle nose delivers hints of gentian, leather, prune and tobacco. On the palate, integrated tannins form a harmonious whole around a rich, lively texture. Successful balance between density and elegance. Very promising.

"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."

"This is excellent and could well surpass the impressive 2015! ~ Wine Advocate "

"The best ever made. Dark, intense, very slightly evolved color. Fine, medium-aromatic, fruity nose with coffee nuances and a creamy touch. Meticulous on the attack, suave in development, particularly fragrant and complex in the mid-palate, the wine grows on the finish. It finishes long, sappy and deep, with fine tannins. It's very good." (Jean-Marc Quarin 2019) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

"A typical Pauillac!

"They achieved a healthy yield of 50 hl/ha in 2018 and yet the power is quite clear in the glass. It shows notes of spice, as well as hints of fig and prune that suggest high levels of ripeness. But there's also blackcurrant and loganberry, with bramble fruit that, for me, always indicates a good level of juiciness. A hint of saltiness brings the fruit back to its classic, sculpted signature. Very good."

"Promised to have a bright future!"

"This estate has gone from strength to strength, and this vintage is one of its best. With a good balance between blackcurrant fruit and sophisticated structure, this wine has a great future. The dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend will allow it to age well".

cabernet sauvignon
grand cru classé

"[...] The bouquet is well defined, starting with aromas of raspberry and wild strawberry, the wood is well integrated, and pleasant undergrowth aromas appear with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins and well-controlled acidity, leading to a lingering spicy finish. This is a fine wine, in line with the 2014, fresh and classy, which was not the case 10 years ago."

"Close to Batailley, this cru is also part of the Castéja heritage. The wine retains a family resemblance with its cousin, while asserting its own personality. The freshness of its cherry-red color blends perfectly with the sweetness of the bouquet (vanilla, candied fruit). Very Pauillac, with a cohort of tannins that can be kept for a long time, the palate calls for waiting a few years". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2009).

"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!

"Beautiful notes of blackberry, blackcurrant and light licorice set the pace for a full palate, with present, velvety-smooth tannins that take their time in a very fragrant, long finish. A rich, straightforward wine with a wonderful texture. A success for the estate. (James Suckling).
