The Lynch-Bages estate is located just outside the city of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary, on one of the most beautiful gravelly outcrops in the appellation. The well-drained soil consists mainly of Garonne gravel. The sub-soil forms a solid, but fairly disjointed foundation, enabling the roots of old vines to grow to a depth of 6-8 metres.In 1974, Jean-Michel Cazes set about restructuring the estate. He equipped it with up-to-date technical facilities, but kept the old vat room dating from last century intact. It is now one of the Médoc's most unusual sights.The grapes are hand-picked and the wine is made in a vatroom containing 35 stainless steel vats equipped with temperature control systems.
