FRIARWOOD SAYS
"The 2014 Château Lynch-Bages is a testament to the estate's unwavering commitment to quality and tradition. With its harmonious balance of power and finesse, this vintage is approachable in its youth but has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next two decades. A superb addition to any wine collection or dinner table."
ABOUT THE WINE
Château Lynch-Bages, a distinguished Fifth Growth estate from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, consistently outperforms its ranking, producing wines that rival those of higher classifications. Situated in the appellation of Pauillac, Château Lynch-Bages boasts 100 hectares of gravelly soils that provide exceptional drainage and foster the development of complex, concentrated fruit. Under the guidance of the Cazes family since 1934, the estate has gained a reputation for crafting robust, age-worthy wines that embody the power and elegance of Pauillac. The 2014 vintage, marked by a cool summer followed by a dry, sunny September, resulted in wines of remarkable balance, freshness, and structure.
TASTING NOTES
The 2014 Château Lynch-Bages displays a deep garnet colour and a compelling bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherries, and graphite, interwoven with notes of tobacco, cedar, and a hint of violet. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and structured, showcasing layers of dark fruit, liquorice, and crushed stone. Its fine-grained tannins provide a firm backbone, while the vibrant acidity ensures balance and longevity. The finish is long and resonant, with lingering notes of cassis and spice.
FOOD PAIRING
This classic Pauillac pairs perfectly with roasted lamb, ribeye steak, or venison dishes. It also complements hearty casseroles and aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère, enhancing the wine's complexity and depth.
