Chateau Lynch-Moussas,
Ready, but will keep,
"An idea of just how good the 2005 vintage truly is can be gained by noting the success of Lynch-Moussas, one of Pauillac's perennial underachievers. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as lovely aromas of sweet blueberries, black currants, flowers, and pain grille. Medium-bodied and elegant, with rich fruit, noticeable glycerin, and moderate tannin, it will be drinkable at an earlier age than most northern Medocs. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020." 89-91/100 points. (Robert Parker)

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.
