Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
You're in good hands here, and straight from the fragrant white flower aromatics you get waves of pear, white peach, sweet spices. Subtle but builds in character, has a complexity and a rich concentration through the mid palate. 50% new oak for 6 months, 20% stainless steel vats. Located on largely gravel soils in Saint Saveur, a commune close to Pauillac in the Médoc appellation. Score: 95 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2024-2034 21 February 2024 |

Bright and crunchy white with layers of gooseberries, fennel, lemon grass and sea shells. White peach, too. Medium-bodied, bright and driven with linear character. Stony and saline at the end. 79% sauvignon blanc, 15% semillon and 6% muscadelle. Drink or hold. Score: 94 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022 |

The 2021 Blanc de Lynch Bages is terrific. The move to increase the Sauvignon Blanc and decrease the Muscadelle yields a white endowed with notable energy and brightness, a style I personally like quite a bit. Score: 91 - 93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2022-2029 01 May 2022 |

The 2021 Blanc de Lynch-Bages, which was bottled 10 days prior to my visit, has a delightful bouquet with white peach and light orange pith scents. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, though I just need a little more weight (more Sémillon?) to fill out the finish. 12.98% alcohol. Score: 87 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024-2030 01 May 2022 |

Already bottled, the 2021 Blanc de Lynch-Bages exhibits aromas of ripe grapefruit, musky peach and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish, it's a blend of 79% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Sémillon and 6% Muscadelle. Score: 91 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2021-2025 29 April 2022 |

I was blown away by the quality of the 2021 Château Lynch-Bages Blanc, which ranks with the top whites in the vintage. Offering awesome white grapefruit, floral, mint, and chalky notes, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a vivid, pure, chiseled mouthfeel, and a great finish. I'd be a buyer.
