Marks and reviews

/100

Vinum

Dense ruby red, subtle aroma, fine roasted notes, cola, dark fruit, stony nuances; racy and fresh on the palate, straightforward, firm, fine but not particularly pronounced tannins, lively acidity, the fruit is perfectly ripe, saline finish. Enjoy young for its fruit.

/100

Decanter

Ripe and concentrated blackcurrant aromas on the nose - lifted scents. Bright acidity meets quite dry tannins, still quite compact and feels a little pushed. There's purity of fruit and cooling minuteness but the tannins are doing all the talking and distract with clove, tobacco and dark chocolate. Quite mineral too. This is sculpted but on the razor sharp edge. Not so charming right now, more serious. This will need some more time to integrate. Ageing 58% new barrels.

James Lawther MW

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot. Cask sample. Fresh with a leafy edge. Round on the attack, then it firms up on the finish. Assertive structure. Some potential. (JL)

Leve Jeff

Cedar, cigar wrapper, and blackcurrant, with red currants, are already starting to shine in this medium-bodied, soft, expressive, vibrant, chewy charmer. The refreshing touch of mint leaf on the finish adds nice complexity. The wine blends 78% Cabernet Sauvignon with 22% Merlot. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2027–2045. 90–92 pts

Jane Anson

An estate that has been quietly improving its expression of Cabernet Sauvignon classicism over the past few years, and here you'll find sappy, bright redcurrant, blackberry and raspberry fruit, a little leafy but with good length and soft campfire smoke, and an unfussy expression of the appellation. 58% new oak for ageing.

Jean-Marc Quarin

A beautiful deep red. An intense nose with ripe, subtle fruit. Precise on the attack, aromatic through the mid-palate, with a medium body and a lovely black-fruit note, the wine develops into a savoury, enjoyable expression, with a normal length, showing no harsh tannin despite its very high index. Blend: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot. Alcohol: 13.5% - pH: 3.55 - IPT: 80.

A Generous and Elegant Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac

The Estate

Founded in 1610, Château Lynch-Moussas became, in the 18th century, like Château Lynch-Bages, the property of the famous Lynch family, originally from Ireland. The Castéja family, established in Pauillac since the 16th century, became its owner in the early 20th century.

The Vineyard

The vineyard of Château Lynch-Moussas extends over an exceptional terroir in Pauillac, characterized by gravelly soils composed of pebbles and gravel. This geological composition, typical of the Médoc, provides excellent drainage and ideal heat reflection for grape ripening.

The Vintage

The year 2024 began with a cold and wet winter, followed by a mild but unpredictable spring. Bud break occurred around March 20th, with significant rainfall. Flowering took place from mid-May to early June under unstable weather conditions. July brought an improvement, followed by an ideal August, while September remained uncertain. The harvest, carried out from late September to early October, required careful sorting of the grapes. The year saw sunshine levels 9% below average, along with rainfall 10% above average.

Winemaking and Aging

Cold maceration, followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 10 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 14 to 24 months in barrels, 58% of which were new oak. The blending was then carried out in tank before returning to barrel, with bottling taking place a year later.

Blend

78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot.
