Château LYNCH-BAGES
5ème grand cru classé

Apart from the first great classified growths, no other Bordeaux wine is as world famous as Lynch-Bages. Its worldwide success comes as much from its opulent, full-bodied and robust style, from its unfailing regularity since 1975, and from its media promotion orchestrated by Jean-Michel Cazes. Lynch-Bages was the first wine sent into space (Discovery shuttle in 1985). It is even said that it is him who gave the taste of Bordeaux to the Americans!

On the terroir of Pez, known to be the best in St-Estèphe (excluding classified growths), the Cazes family uses the same recipes here as those that made Lynch-Bages so successful: generous fruit and opulent texture. Ormes de Pez is an'almost' Lynch-Bages but at a quarter of the price!

This old estate (14th century) of Châteauneuf-du-Pape was bought in 2006 by Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages, Haut-Batailley, Ormes de Pez...). With 25 hectares (60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre), in two excellent sectors (La Nerthe and Rayas), and by voluntarily limiting the yields to 30hl/ha, Mr. Cazes strives to produce only one vintage in red as well as in white, Châteauneufs that are accessible both on the gustatory and financial levels.

The white is fine, airy, without excess generosity, with a beautiful energy brought by the clairette (30%). The red is a classic Châteauneuf, refined and silky, also focusing more on finesse and aromatic intensity than on power, in the spirit of Rayas.

Vineyard acquired in 2002 by Mr. Cazes (Lynch-Bages, Haut-Batailley, Ormes de Pez...). After having shown at the beginning a very southern character with exuberant and full-bodied wines, L'Ostal Cazes has since happily moved to a more nuanced style where, without losing anything in density, elegance competes with length.

Albe Blanc is a blend of viognier (majority), marsanne and roussanne, very fresh (anise, acacia flower) and intense, expressive without any softness. The Cazes team shows here all its expertise in the freshness/richness balance that suits a harmonious dry white.

A Bordeaux vision and assuaged of the generosity even the Mediterranean exuberance, greeted by Mr. Bettane " A very beautiful address, serious and regular, of which one does not tire".

Estibals, 50% Syrah, is a gourmet wine, balanced, long, everything but a "little wine".

Grand Vin, 70% Syrah, is today simply one of the greatest red wines in Languedoc.
