Description

Echo de Château Lynch-Bages is the second wine of the prestigious Fifth Growth, Château Lynch-Bages. The second wine of an estate can often be overlooked, but they frequently represent excellent value for money and this 2020 Echo is a prime case in point. The grapes come from vines growing on the same prestigious Pauillac soils and are vinified in the same brand-new winery as the Château’s top wine. This vintage’s Echo de Château Lynch-Bages was very well received by critics and frequently outscored the top, more expensive wines from neighbouring estates. Château Lynch-Bages is one of the most iconic estates in Bordeaux, with a winemaking history dating back to the 17th century. The estate is named after Thomas Lynch, whose father emigrated from Galway in 1691. Thomas Lynch inherited the estate from his father-in-law and expanded the estate to become one of the most prominent in Pauillac. Château Lynch-Bages was recognised as a prestigious Fifth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Since the mid-19th century, the influential Cazes family have owned the estate, which is draped across 90ha of some of the best land in Pauillac.
