Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac
Description: Overlooking the Gironde estuary at the entrance to Pauillac the vines of Lynch-Bages are located on the Bages plateau, on one of the finest gravelly rises in the appellation. The estate once belonged to the famous Lynch family, of Irish origin, and was acquired by Jean Charles Cazes in 1934. His grandson, Jean-Michael Cazes, restructured the estate in 1974 adding state of the art winemaking equipment, while keeping the former wooden vats as a reminder of the nineteenth century. The grapes are all hand picked and then carefully sorted before crushing. A very strict selection is made prior to blending and the wine is traditionally aged in oak barrels for 15 months before bottling. Garonne gravel. "...Full-bodied and classic in its proportions, this dense, chewy, pure Lynch-Bages will have considerable longevity." Parker, 91+. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £682.83

Chateau Montrose was classified a second growth in 1855 and is undoubtedly one of the most famous wines of Bordeaux. 40% new barrels. Coarse gravel on clay-silt subsoil.
