"Perfectly harmonious, with lots of charm and gourmandise, it will go a long way!"
"A Haut-Médoc in Olympic form in this great vintage. The 18 months of barrel ageing have not extinguished the fruit, which emerges from the nose with fresh nuances of blackcurrant, paprika and menthol, just enhanced by a respectful toasted woodiness. The attack is soft, the mid-palate ample and juicy (cherry, blackcurrant), the tannins fine and very well adjusted, the finish long and delicately roasted. Rich, vibrant and perfectly harmonious, this wine will go a long way". (Guide Hachette 2026) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Philippe Castéja has worked hard to restore a superb family estate in the Pauillac hinterland. The aging of the vines and the construction of a high-performance work tool enable him to produce a supple, fleshy wine that is constantly improving. Its terroir enables it to open up before most of the wines in its appellation, which should make it more present on restaurant menus, with good value for money.
Decanter
Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
Juicy and slender, this wine is frank and structured, supple and energetic. Its lightness and freshness are very pleasant. The acidity is well present, making it easy to drink and accessible. Aromas of strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, with slightly chalky tannins. A fresh, crystalline minerality leaves a pleasant impression of persistence on the palate. This Haut-Médoc is a blend of declassified Pauillac grapes. 2026-2040

About the domain :
Owned since the 18th century by Count Lynch, until it was divided in two, giving Lynch Moussas and Lynch-Bages. Émile Castéja, who joined the family in 1919, took over the estate in 1969 and restructured the vines and winery. His son Philippe has been at the helm of this 35-hectare cru, close to Batailley, also owned by the Castéja family, since 2001.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
For several years now, Philippe Castéja has been giving new impetus to this classified growth. Oenologist Denis Dubourdieu has carried out extensive work on the estate, starting with the reorganization of the vineyard. Over the last few vintages, the wines have progressed and the château benefits from technical facilities that should enable it to go even further. Lynch-Moussas produces a relatively fine, medium-bodied wine that can be drunk fairly quickly.

About the wine:
Deep purple color with violet highlights and an almost black heart. Elegant nose with aromas of blackberry, strawberry and vanilla. On the palate, juicy, sweet fruit, ripe tannins, sweet spice notes and a subtle touch of toast. A very charming, persistent wine.
