Château Lynch-Moussas 2015

A fine Pauillac wine with supple tannins and a rich aromatic palette

The estate

In the 18th century, Château Lynch-Moussas, like Château Lynch-Bages, was owned by the famous Lynch family, who were originally from Ireland. The Castéja family, owners since the 16th century in the Pauillac region, acquired this château at the beginning of the 20th century.

A benchmark among fine Pauillac wines, Château Lynch-Moussas watches over a 62-hectare vineyard that rests on a gravel and clay soil. 

Vinification and ageing

Fermentation and maceration for 15 to 20 days in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels (50% new and 50% first-fill barrels).

The blend

Cabernet Sauvignon (79%)

Merlot (21%)
