Château Lynch-Moussas 2022

A complex and refined great Pauillac red wine

The estate

In the 18th century, Château Lynch-Moussas, like Château Lynch-Bages, became the property of the famous Irish Lynch family. The Castéja family, owners since the 16th century in Pauillac, acquired this château at the beginning of the 20th century.

The vineyard

Château Lynch-Moussas is a Pauillac wine from a 62-hectare vineyard.

The vintage

Despite a rainy end to the year 2021, a particularly dry winter preceded a spring with five nights of intense frost that only slightly affected the vineyard. In mid-May, flowering was rapid and even. The month of June alternated between very hot weather and heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms. The summer was very dry, making 2022 the hottest year since 1947. The harvest began at the beginning of September, revealing small, concentrated berries, perfectly ripe and rich.

Blend

This Château Lynch-Moussas 2022 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (74%) and Merlot (26%).
