It is named after the area where the castle in Bages is located. The château's vineyard was established and then expanded by the Dejean family, who sold it in 1728 to Pierre Durand. Château Lynch-Bages holds the status of a fifth Grand Cru Classé, according to the 1855 classification from Medoc, and is one of the most famous estates in the region. Since 1973, it has been owned by Jean-Michel Cazes and managed by his son, Jean-Charles. The Lynch-Bages vineyards are situated on a plateau, west of the town of Pauillac, in the small village of Bages. Château Lynch-Bages owns 90 hectares of vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Merlot 15%, Cabernet Franc 10%) planted on deep gravelly soils with limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation is temperature-controlled to ensure concentration and depth of color. A special system of pipes transfers the wine from the vats to oak barrels (60% new), where it ages for 15 months. Château Lynch-Bages can be surprisingly soft and elegant when young. However, when fully aged, it develops a succulent richness and an incredible bouquet of mint, blackcurrant, and cigar box. As Oz Clarke (renowned British wine critic) says, \"Lynch-Bages is impressive at five years, beautiful at ten years, and irresistible at twenty years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of \u003cspan class=\"percent\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-number\" data-number=\"76\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e76\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e % \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"titre\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"percent\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-number\" data-number=\"18\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e18\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e %\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"titre\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eMerlot, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"percent\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-number\" data-number=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e %\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"titre\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eCabernet Franc and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"percent\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-number\" data-number=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e %\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"titre\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003ePetit Verdot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe 2009 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eChâteau Lynch-Bages \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003edisplays an intense color.
