Create an alert

Château Lynch-Moussas is a Bordeaux wine estate. In the Pauillac appellation, the Château is a Fifth Growth Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification. Located next to Château Grand Puy Ducasse, the Lynch-Moussas vineyard extends over 62 hectares with a grape variety composition of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. In addition to its classified growth, the Château produces a second wine called 'Les Hauts de Lynch Moussas'. The harvest is done manually. Sorting is carried out both in the vineyard and in the winery. Vinification is conducted in temperature-controlled vats and aging takes place in barrels (60% new) for 16 to 18 months.

The classified growth is full-bodied, elegant and has an interesting aromatic range. It is a wine with good aging potential. Among the finest achievements of Château Lynch Moussas, the vintages 1961, 1975, 1982 and 1985 are to be favored. We also recommend the Château Lynch-Moussas 1988, Lynch-Moussas 1989 and the excellent Lynch-Moussas 2001.

The name Lynch-Moussas comes from the division of Count Lynch's property into Lynch-Moussas and Lynch-Bages in the 19th century, Moussas being the location of a large part of the vineyard. The Castéja family, owner of Château Lynch-Moussas since the 16th century in Pauillac, acquired this château at the beginning of the 20th century. It was only in 1970 that Emile Casteja inherited it and took over its management. He immediately set out to restore this property to its former glory. Since 2001, his son Philippe Casteja has taken over the reins of the left bank properties. The year 2001 saw the birth of the Château's second wine, Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas. Château Lynch-Moussas is one of the only family-owned properties to be distributed through the Bordeaux marketplace.
