Lynch Bages 1970 - Pauillac

Château Lynch Bages 1970 - 5th classified grand cru of Pauillac (Only and it's a scandal!)

At WUAT Christophe has always had a great love for Lynch Bages. It is indeed with this wine that the passion was born. We don't mess with Lynch!

Lynch has always embodied Pauillac in its purest style. Powerful and very difficult to taste in the early years, it becomes magnificent and unique with age.

About the vintage: 1970 is clearly one of Lynch-Bages' greatest achievements as well as many other famous Chateaux. We indicate here the Robert Parker's comments on it in 1996:

This classic Pauillac sports a fabulous, sustained opaque color, absolutely intact, which is only matched by that of Latour in this vintage. The nose with scents of cedar, fine leather, smoked meat, cake, tobacco and spices, introduces into the mouth a whole that is at the same time young, rich, tannic, massive and thick, but sufficiently supple

Exceptional provenance: These bottles come from a cellar of a great Swiss enthusiast and collector. We have acquired the complete collection containing more than 200 bottles of mainly French and Italian wines. The bottles were all preserved following their purchase en primeur or shortly after their marketing on site, in a natural cellar buried under a 16th century convent. A damp cellar, which is why some labels are very worn. The levels are generally excellent or perfect and the most "fragile" bottles reflect storage in total darkness for more than 30 years!
