"This is a vastly improved estate, making impressively good wines in recent vintages. The wine is structured and tannic but also packed with blackcurrant fruits, good acidity and spice. It will take time to develop, so drink from 2025 at the earliest." 94 points, Wine Enthusiast

Chateau Lynch Moussas 2016 Pauillac

Bordeaux - located in southwest France, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential wine regions, celebrated for its historic châteaux, age-worthy wines, and unparalleled blending tradition. Divided by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, Bordeaux is home to two stylistic pillars: the Left Bank, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Right Bank, where Merlot takes the lead. The region’s moderate maritime climate, gravelly and clay-limestone soils, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing structured reds, elegant dry whites, and some of the world’s most famous sweet wines, notably from Sauternes. Bordeaux’s appellations—such as Pauillac, Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Pessac-Léognan—are benchmarks for quality and expression. With centuries of winemaking tradition, strict classification systems, and a global reputation for excellence, Bordeaux continues to set the standard for fine wine around the world.
