2017 Chateau Lynch-Moussas

The 2017 Château Lynch-Moussas is a distinguished Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru Classé) from Pauillac, Bordeaux, crafted from a classic blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot. Produced from gravel-rich vineyards overlooking the Gironde Estuary, it showcases the hallmark structure, elegance and longevity that define this prestigious Left Bank appellation. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, cigar box and subtle spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, polished tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully structured texture, delivering flavours of cassis, black plum and blackberry layered with hints of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, pencil lead and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining classic Pauillac power with impressive finesse and ageing potential.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Pauillac for lovers of classic Bordeaux seeking structure, elegance and exceptional value from a classified growth. Enjoy after a generous decant or cellar confidently over the next 10–20 years. Ideal with roast lamb, beef Wellington, rib-eye steak, venison or mature hard cheeses.
