Château Lynch-Moussas 2018

The opulence of a structured grand red wine from Pauillac

The property

In the 18th century, the Château Lynch-Moussas became, like the Château Lynch-Bages, the property of the famous Lynch family of Irish origin. The vineyard is planted with 75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% merlot. The Castéja family, owners in Pauillac since the 16th century, acquired this château at the beginning of the 20th century.

The vineyard

The Château Lynch-Moussas is a Pauillac wine from a 62-hectare vineyard.

The vintage

2018 did not spare the work in the vineyard. The strong climatic contrasts of the year indeed subjected the vineyard to a rainy spring followed by a high cryptogamic pressure. The beautiful summer finally settled in July and shone until October. The harvest, which began on September 18 and ended on October 10, revealed magnificent berries, each grape variety having reached perfect maturity.

Blend

Cabernet sauvignon (72%) and merlot (28%),
