Château Lynch-Moussas: A Classic Pauillac Fifth Growth Claret

A designated Fifth Growth in the prestigious 1855 Classification, Château Lynch-Moussas has benefited from significant investment and modernisation by the Castéja family, establishing it as a consistently high-quality Pauillac. This is a traditional claret that beautifully marries the appellation's signature power with a more approachable, silky elegance-a testament to its Cabernet Sauvignon dominance tempered by a generous measure of Merlot.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• Appearance: Deep, inky ruby with a vibrant edge, promising intensity and depth.
• Nose: An expressive nose dominated by black fruit-cassis, dark cherry, and mulberry-layered with complex tertiary notes of cigar box, graphite, and toasted spice from its 60% new oak maturation.
• Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied and beautifully balanced. The texture is refined, with ripe, firm tannins providing a backbone for long-term aging. The fruit is concentrated, leading to a long, savoury finish that truly defines the Pauillac character. An excellent investment for the cellar.

Pairing & Service

A classic choice for a formal dinner. Best served after 1-3 hours in a decanter to soften the tannins, at cellar temperature (16-18°C).

• Food Pairing: This wine is magnificent with classic British Sunday roasts and game dishes.
