Surface: 90 hectares

“Terroir”( Soil): Garonne Gravel

Ageing: Wooden barrels for 18 months ( 75% new oak)

Blending: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

Notes: 2015 was marked by a good grape concentration and a remarkable tannin ripeness; these two factor will raise it to the rank of a great vintage. At Lynch-Bages harvesting took place in excellent conditions, except for one very rainy day in October. Grape sugar content was sometimes high, but alcoholic fermentation was completed rapidly and the wines had a low volatile acidity. Then followed post-fermentation maceration, which gave the already harmonious wines some fatness and volume.
