🇫🇷 Blanc de Lynch-Bages 2021

Blanc de Lynch-Bages 2021 – Premier Bordeaux Blanc from Château Lynch-Bages

A Haute-Couture White from Pauillac

Crisp. Classy. Completely Addictive.

Born on the iconic Château Lynch-Bages estate in Pauillac—better known for its world-class reds—Blanc de Lynch-Bages has been stealing the spotlight since its debut in 1990. And in 2021, this Sémillon-Sauvignon-Muscadelle blend hits a new high note.

Crafted by Jean-Charles Cazes, fifth-generation winemaker and managing director of the estate, this wine is the definition of Bordeaux blanc done right: hand-harvested grapes, plot-by-plot vinification, aged in oak (50% new), and bottled with surgical precision. Think white Burgundy structure with a Pauillac soul.

👨🔬 The Estate & Winemaker

Château Lynch-Bages is a Pauillac Grand Cru Classé that plays in the big leagues. But the estate's white wine? That’s where it flexes its finesse. Made from high-altitude vineyards planted in 1985 just outside the traditional Pauillac red zone, this white blend is the passion project of the Cazes family—and a quiet favorite of sommeliers worldwide.

“Lively and well-defined. Crisp green apple, gooseberry, subtle oak influence. Linear and precise, with great tension and length. One of the best vintages to date.”

🏅 92 Points – Wine Advocate
“Elegant and vibrant. Flinty citrus and white flower aromatics lead into a structured palate with grip and finesse. A serious white Bordeaux.”
