Echo de Lynch Bages 2022, Pauillac is the second wine of Chateau Lynch-Bages, a name the estate has used since 2008. The 2022 blends 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc from Garonne gravel, hand-picked and sorted, then aged 14 months in French oak (new and one-year-old barrels), at 13.5% alcohol. The estate says 2022 brought extreme climatic events, yet gave very ripe red fruit aromas and impressively mature tannins.
Tasting notes
