Echo de Lynch Bages - Pauillac 2023
Lynch Bages, the signature of the Cazes family
Marrying the worlds of wine and culture, the Cazes family has positioned Lynch-Bages at the core of a lifestyle. In 2006, Jean-Michel Cazes handed the management over to his son Jean-Charles, who is driven by the same high standards, and the Lynch-Bages wines have continued to reflect their generosity and excellence.
Echo de Lynch-Bages
Château Haut-Bages Averous was the name of the former Pauillac estate acquired by André Cazes and was the domaine's second wine from 1976 onwards. It was renamed
Echo de Lynch-Bages as of the 2008 vintage in order to affirm its relationship with the Grand Cru Classé.
Its name Echo refers to the nymph from
Greek mythology: according to Greek mythology, Zeus - a sometimes fickle husband - entrusted the nymph Echo with distracting his wife Hera by engaging her in endless chatter when he wished to tarry with some beautiful mortal. Hera, on discovering this little game, pronounced sentence on the nymph with the following words: "You will never be the first to speak, but you will always have the last word".
The 2023 vintageThe 2023 vintage presents a clear and fruit-forward palette of aromas. The wines are well-balanced, with smooth tannins and good acidity. This new vintage stands out for its opulence, elegance, and purity.
Tasting notes''Echo de Lynch-Bages has a brilliant ruby colour. On the nose, bright notes of red fruit offer a lovely freshness. On the palate, it stands out for its roundness and harmonious oak integration. An opulent wine, in the tradition of its “big brother”." Nicolas Labenne, Technical Director
