Informations
Situated on the outskirts of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary, the Lynch-Bages vineyard stretches over a magnificent gravelly hilltop. Once owned by the Lynch family, of Irish descent, the estate was then purchased by Cazes in 1939. 2020 was a historic harvest for the estate, as it was the first to be vinified in the new facilities designed by American architect Chien Chung Pei.
