A bright and flavorful white with sliced apple, pear and mango follow through to a full body, crisp acidity and lively finish. Lots of white peaches too.
The 2015 Blanc de Lynch-Bages has a little bit of sulfides on the nose with struck match scents over a core of lemon curd, ripe pears and peach kernels with touches of dried herbs and baking bread. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing with phenolic grip and a long, mineral finish. 2018 - 2031
Very pungent indeed. Almost Kiwi richness on the nose. Lots of depth though. Really racy.
Drink 2016-2018
Cirrus and gooseberry the nose is fresh the start of the palate crisp but there is more depth and richness in the middle with tropical fruits and a hint of peach. The back palate has a complex mix of flavours pineapple richness underpinned by citrus the finish is long racy fresh and mineral. 2018-27
Lynch’s white comes from a parcel to the west of Pauillac in Saint-Sauveur on a north-facing
slope. Spicy and subtly oaked, with a touch of honeyed richness from botrytis, notes of green
herbs and cinnamon and a pithy, chalky finish. Drink: 2017-22
The 2015 Blanc de Lynch Bages, 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Semillon and 17% Muscadelle, matured in 45% new oak. The yields were just 29.8 hectoliters per hectare, because of the dry growing conditions that particularly affected the Sauvignon Blanc. It has an attractive bouquet with scents of lime, gooseberry and beeswax, the oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is fresh and vibrant, harmonious in the mouth with a twist of bitter lemon on the mid-palate, easing down towards the finish with Cornice pear and citrus peel notes. There is very pleasant salinity on the aftertaste that urges you back for another sip. This is an accomplished Blanc de Lynch Bages that should offer several years' drinking pleasure. Drink 2018-2030
