Tasting notes
The 2025 Blanc de Lynch-Bages had already been bottled, as usual. It has a vibrant nose with crisp gooseberry and Granny Smith scents, and just a touch of apricot in the background. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity, bright and lively, and a malic, slightly herbaceous finish. Fine.

Checking in as a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Sémillon, 11% Muscadelle, and 5% Sauvignon Gris, the 2025 Château Lynch-Bages Blanc is a vibrant, racy white with a perfumed nose of citrus, honeyed tropical flowers, mint, and chalky minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's fresh, focused, and balanced, with bright acidity and a clean, crisp finish. Already bottled, it should have 10-15 years of longevity. Drink 2026-2041.
Pineapples, white peach, flowers, thyme, and lemon peel aromas fill the aromatic profile. Fresh, and juicy, your palate enjoys its blast of Granny smith apples, pineapples, grapefruit, and lemon curd, all topped with white peaches. The wine is produced from blending 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon, 11% Muscadelle, and 5% Sauvignon Gris. This marks the first vintage with Sauvignon Gris in the blend. 13.4% ABV. Drink from 2027-2035.
