Echo de Lynch-Bages Pauillac 2020

When facing a busy work day, we prioritize the easy answers, like responding YES when asked if we would sit with Kinou Cazes-Hachemian, fifth generation to the iconic Château Lynch-Bages. Let us just say, tasting beautifully crafted Bordeaux after an onslaught of Napa Cabernet during Premiere Napa Valley was actual therapy!

For generations, Lynch-Bages has been synonymous with the power, elegance, and longevity that defines the finest wines of Pauillac. With a legacy that dates back to the 18th century, this Grand Cru Classe has become an icon of Bordeaux, consistently producing wines that captivate with their depth and structure. Under the stewardship of the Cazes family, the estate has flourished, blending tradition with innovation, culminating in the completion of its state-of-the-art winery in 2020.

2020 marks the beginning of a new era as this is the first vintage made at the new state-of-the-art winery at Lynch-Bages. As Double Diamond is to Schrader, Impetuous is to Checkerboard, The Maiden is to Harlan, Echo is to Lynch-Bages. We don't dare call it a second label as the quality is ever present, but this debut label is an excellent gateway to the fine wines of Bordeaux. Bramble fruit and toasty aromas with super fine tannins that coat the palate. Succulent and easy while also being confident and well-built!
