Blanc de Lynch Bages 2025

The 2025 Blanc de Lynch-Bages had already been bottled, as usual. It has a vibrant nose with crisp gooseberry and Granny Smith scents, and just a touch of apricot in the background. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity, bright and lively, and a malic, slightly herbaceous finish. Fine. 2026 - 2032

Bright silver lemon colour. Smoky reduction, ripe orchard fruit and preserved lemons on the nose. The palate has great density and layered, complex fruit. There is a sumptuous, mouthfilling texture and vibrant, refreshing acidity. The wood is nicely judged, adding complexity without masking the fruit. You can drink this now, it is absolutely delicious.

Notes of clove, flowers, confit citrus and spices preface the 2025 Blanc de Lynch-Bages, a medium- to full-bodied, rich and layered wine built around a lively core of fruit, with delicate acidity through the mid-palate and a long, saline finish. Bottled just 10 days prior to tasting, it remains particularly expressive at this early stage. It's a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Sémillon, 11% Muscadelle and 5% Sauvignon Gris, matured in 50% new oak.

A tight and solid wine with phenolic tension and bright acidity. Medium body, with sliced green apples and pears, with hints of honeysuckle, as well as mineral and sea salt undertones. Crunchy finish. A blend of 60% sauvignon blanc, 24% semillon, 11% muscadelle and 5% sauvignon gris. Drink now.

The 2025 Blanc de Lynch-Bages is terrific. This is the first year with some Sauvignon Gris. The 2025 offers a beguiling mix of textural richness and aromatic intensity. Pear, green apple and jasmine open first, followed by light tropical overtones that lend an exotic flair. This was just bottled but is drinking very well today. 2027 - 2035
