Discover the elegance and structure of Château Lynch-Bages 2011, a prestigious Grand Cru Classé red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux, renowned for its finesse, aging potential, and classic Left Bank style.
Crafted from a careful blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, this vintage reflects the character of an unusual growing season, marked by an early flowering, cooler summer, and a warm, dry September that allowed for optimal ripening.
This 2011 vintage stands out with well-ripened fruit, silky, plump tannins, and a fresh acidity that delivers excellent balance and structure. The wine was aged for 15 months in French oak barrels (65% new oak), adding complexity, depth, and aging potential.
