"One of the most opulent and full-bodied wines of the vintage, it has a lot to offer and strongly evokes the style of a Grand Vin!"

“Blackberry notes, toasty aromas, and soft floral hints. Structured and serious from the first sip, with ultra-fine tannins that fill the mouth and coat the tongue and cheeks, yet with a fresh hint of graphite. Supple without being stuffy, distinctly more slender without being austere; its supple texture lends it a lovely, pleasant, and welcome length on the palate. Juicy and vibrant, it overflows with energy and liveliness while remaining refined and elegant, without being overbearing. A truly impressive second wine, where the terroir takes center stage. Delicious and approachable, yet also confident and well-structured. ” (Decanter 2023) - 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 (2021 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

World-renowned for its opulence and consistency, this Pauillac Fifth Growth has been owned by the Cazes family since the 1930s and has gained widespread acclaim since Jean-Michel Cazes took over its management in 1973. Following the successful handover from Jean-Michel to his son Jean-Charles, the estate has maintained all its vigor and vitality in recent vintages, retaining its depth while gaining precision in its tannins. The château produces an increasingly stylish dry white Bordeaux, though we are still awaiting a more precise wine for its second label, Écho. A new wine-making facility is under construction, and it promises to be monumental—after all, the estate must hold its own in a highly competitive market!

About the wine:

Blackberry notes, toasty aromas, and soft floral hints. Structured and serious from the first sip, with ultra-fine tannins that fill the mouth and coat the tongue and cheeks, yet with a fresh hint of graphite. Supple without being stiff, distinctly more slender without being austere; its supple texture lends it a lovely, pleasant, and welcome length on the palate. Juicy and vibrant, it overflows with energy and liveliness while remaining refined and elegant, without being overpowering. A truly impressive second wine, where the terroir takes center stage. Delicious and approachable, yet also confident and well-structured. 2026–2038

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

The name of this wine combines that of the Irish merchants who owned it in the 18th century with that of a hamlet located just south of Pauillac. Since the 1930s, its success has stemmed from the ongoing efforts of three generations of the Cazes family: Jean-Charles, André, and Jean-Michel. The contribution of Jean-Michel, who has since handed the reins to his son Jean-Charles, has been essential. His success is linked to the quality of the wines, produced from a vast 100-hectare vineyard, as well as to a sound development strategy that includes wine trading and tourism infrastructure (hotel-restaurant, shops).

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

It is now up to Jean-Charles Cazes to steer this prestigious Pauillac estate. His father, Jean-Michel—an exceptional figure in the Médoc, a tireless ambassador for Bordeaux wines, and the architect of this Fifth Growth’s reputation—is, however, never far away. The magnificent family estate, superbly situated on the Bages plateau, has produced an impressive series of wines without a single weak link since the early 1970s, establishing its rich, seductive, and immediately approachable style, while also aging with grace. Now equipped with a spectacular, brand-new, state-of-the-art winery, the estate is more on track than ever, and its popularity among many wine enthusiasts is simply a well-deserved reward.

About the wine:

This wine displays intense notes of graphite and violet, with hints of pencil lead. It is full-bodied and firm, with soft, well-balanced tannins. There are hints of iodine. So intense. An excellent second wine. Like Lynch’s grand vin from the 1980s. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.

About the wine:

The first vintage produced in the new facilities, the 2020 Echo de Lynch-Bages is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, and aged in new oak barrels. This is a full-bodied and serious second wine, revealing classic Pauillac notes of pencil lead and tobacco, an abundance of ripe black fruit, velvety tannins, and a magnificent finish. One of the most opulent and full-bodied wines of the vintage, it has a lot to offer and strongly evokes the style of the Grand Vin. 2023–2038

About the wine:

An expressive, intense bouquet revealing mineral and fruity nuances. Straightforward and taut on the palate. The imposing tannins provide body, yet the wine remains well-balanced thanks to the freshness of its acidic structure. Echo promises to be a great wine in a truly beautiful way! 2025–2040

Vert de Vin

Wine rated (2021 guide) 92-93/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)

About the wine:

The nose is aromatic, elegant, and floral. It features notes of violet, rose, and, more subtly, blackberry, combined with hints of wild raspberry, small black berries, and iris, as well as a subtle hint of tea and spices. The palate is fruity, offering juiciness, freshness, good definition, a certain richness, floral notes, richness, roundness, and body. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy, vibrant blackcurrant, cherry, and, to a lesser extent, iris and violet, combined with hints of saffron, fresh, pulpy red berries, as well as subtle hints of gravel, toast, chocolate, and a discreet hint of toast and sweet spices. The tannins are robust, pronounced, structuring, and very finely velvety.
