‘In 1990 Lynch Bages began making a dry, rich white Bordeaux. The wine is fermented in new oak and aged in cask for nearly 12 months. The debut vintage was impressive, with a level of quality reminiscent of a top white Graves.’ Robert Parker

2006 VINTAGE
Blanc de Lynch Bages has very fine and complex aromas, with notes of citrus, apricot and grapefruit. Good attack on the palate with lots of freshness which gives the wine great delicacy.
