"Perfectly balanced, with plenty of charm and richness—this one is going places!"

“A Haut-Médoc in top form in this great vintage. The 18 months of barrel aging have not dampened the fruit, which comes through immediately on the nose with fresh notes of blackcurrant, paprika, and menthol, subtly enhanced by very subtle toasted oak. The attack is smooth, the mid-palate full and juicy (cherry, blackcurrant), the tannins fine and very well-integrated, and the finish long and delicately toasty. Rich, vibrant, and perfectly harmonious, this wine has great aging potential. ” (Hachette Guide 2026) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Philippe Castéja has worked tirelessly to restore a magnificent family estate located in the Pauillac hinterland. The aging of the vines and the development of an efficient production facility have made it possible to produce a supple, full-bodied wine that continues to improve. Its terroir allows it to open up sooner than most wines from its appellation, which should make it a more common sight on restaurant wine lists, offering good value for the price.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Juicy and elegant, this wine is straightforward and well-structured, supple and lively. Its lightness and freshness are very pleasant. The acidity is prominent, making it easy to drink and approachable. It offers aromas of strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry, along with slightly chalky tannins. A fresh, crystalline minerality leaves a pleasant, lingering impression on the palate. This Haut-Médoc is made from a blend of declassified Pauillac grapes. 2026–2040

About the estate:

Owned by Count Lynch since the 18th century, until it was divided into two estates: Lynch Moussas and Lynch-Bages. Émile Castéja, who joined the family in 1919, took over the estate in 1969 and restructured the vineyards and winery. His son Philippe has been at the helm since 2001 of this 35-hectare estate, located near Batailley, which is also owned by the Castéja family.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100

Rated Estate (2020 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

The second wine reflects the evolution of Château Lynch-Moussas and is delightfully fruity and fresh.

About the estate:

For several years now, Philippe Castéja has been breathing new life into this classified growth. Winemaker Denis Dubourdieu has carried out extensive work there, starting with a thorough overhaul of the vineyard. Over the past few vintages, the wines have improved, and the château now benefits from state-of-the-art facilities that should enable it to achieve even greater heights. Lynch-Moussas produces a relatively refined wine of medium body that can be enjoyed fairly soon after bottling.

About the wine:

A deep purple color with violet highlights and an almost black core. An elegant nose with aromas of blackberry, strawberry, and vanilla. On the palate, juicy, sweet fruit, ripe tannins, notes of mild spices, and a subtle toasty touch. A very charming and lingering wine.
