The elegance of Pauillac
Grand Cru Classé de Pauillac, composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot. This wine presents aromas of ripe black fruit, supported by solid tannins. The whole is balanced by just the right amount of freshness and a long finish. It can be enjoyed now if decanted, but also has great ageing potential.

The vines, planted on beautiful Günz gravel hilltops composed of pebbles and gravel cemented by clayey sands, are treated with the greatest care to allow them to express all the richness of their terroir. The Château Lynch-Moussas vineyard, composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon (75%) and Merlot (25%), is contiguous to a certain number of other Grands Crus Classés, in particular parcels belonging to Châteaux Latour, Lynch-Bages, Pichon-Longueville Baron, Grand-Puy-Lacoste and of course Batailley, which shows the quality of the soil and its production.

The property
Château Lynch-Moussas was in the 18th century, like Lynch-Bages, the property of the famous Lynch family of Irish origin. The 62-hectare vineyard is planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. The Castéja family, owners since the 16th century in Pauillac, acquired this castle at the beginning of the 20th century.
