Chateau Lynch-Moussas,
For laying down,
This beautiful estate is owned by Philippe Casteja and 2014 has seen a real emergence in the quality of the wine. Displaying tasty dark fruits with blackberry, cassis and hints of vanilla cream, it has to be one of the state finest wines in recent years. Compelling and enticing, the nose draws you in. Medium-bodied and welcoming, the mid-palate fruit profile is tasty indeed. Bravo.

Château Lynch-Moussas is a 5ème Cru Classé estate located in the south-west of the Pauillac wine appellation. Lynch-Moussas has been thoroughly renovated in the last 30 years and is now producing high quality claret. Lynch-Moussas's impressive château dates back to 1850, but the key date in Lynch-Moussas` history was 1969 when it was bought by Emile Castéja, owner of Château Batailley and négociant firm Borie-Manoux. Extensive replanting and much-needed modernisation in the cellars have transformed the quality of the wine.
Lynch-Moussas is a typically a blend is Cabernet Sauvignon based and the wine is aged in 60% new oak barrels for between 12 and 18 months. The wines are rich in black fruits and display prominent vanilla notes. For a Pauillac, Lynch-Moussas contains a relatively high proportion of Merlot and is consequently a softer, silkier and lusher wine than many of its neighbours.
