{"product_id":"12247_8deefc63f8dc5f9","title":"Pauillac de Lynch Bages 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduced by Château Lynch-Bages, Pauillac de Lynch-Bages is the estate’s third wine, offering an accessible introduction to one of the Médoc’s most prestigious names. Owned by the Cazes family since the 1930s, Château Lynch-Bages has become one of the most admired estates in Bordeaux, renowned for its powerful yet elegant interpretation of Pauillac terroir. Although classified as a Cinquième Cru Classé (Fifth Growth) in the 1855 Classification, Lynch-Bages is widely considered to perform at a level far beyond its official ranking. The vineyards are located on the celebrated gravel terraces of Pauillac, where deep gravel soils over clay provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, producing wines with exceptional structure, freshness and ageing potential. The 2016 vintage is widely regarded as one of Bordeaux’s greatest modern vintages, combining a warm, dry growing season with a late harvest that produced grapes of extraordinary concentration, purity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade from younger vines and selected parcels of Lynch-Bages, Pauillac de Lynch-Bages 2016 reflects the character of the estate while offering earlier approachability. The blend follows the classic Left Bank Bordeaux style, led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, before ageing in French oak barrels. The wine displays aromas of cassis, blackberry and black cherry layered with cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, violet, dark chocolate and subtle spice. On the palate, it is refined and structured, with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and the distinctive mineral freshness associated with Pauillac. Already showing impressive complexity, it retains the structure and balance to develop beautifully over the next decade. A superb partner for roast lamb, grilled steak, game dishes, mushrooms and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pembroke Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60279182491982,"sku":"12247","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/5061\/1516\/files\/20260731_165706.jpg?v=1785582803","url":"https:\/\/blackrockcellar.com\/products\/12247_8deefc63f8dc5f9","provider":"Blackrock Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
