This wine pays tribute to Michel Lynch, a name that is inextricably linked with the great wines of Bordeaux. Born in 1754, he devoted his life to improving the wines on his estate now known as Château Lynch-Bages.

The wine that bears his name has passed through the hands of a renowned winemaking team. It is crafted from a selection of the Bordeaux vineyard’s noblest grapes, which have been harvested at maturity and carefully vinified.

Michel Lynch Prestige celebrates the region’s greatest local appellations. These are exceptional wines that faithfully reflect both the local terroir and its grape varietals.

After a cold and rainy winter, the warm, damp summer ensured a good fruit set but also the rapid development of downy mildew. Thankfully, the subsequent summer was hot and dry, reducing the threat of parasites and allowing the grapes to ripen well. A few hailstorms on 26 May then 4 and 15 July, unfortunately, had a (very localized) impact on some Bordeaux vineyards. During the harvest, the thick skins of the red grapes gave ripe and fleshy tannins. The balance between sugar and acidity is remarkable and gives a rich and beautiful vintage.

The Michel Lynch Saint-Emilion has a purple color with violet hints. It starts on an intense nose, finely wooded, with aromas of blackberry and blueberry. The palate is full and generous, supported by beautiful silky tannins that end to a fresh and velvety finish with notes of black fruits and roasted almonds.
