"Bramble fruit, toasted aromas and soft floral notes. Structured and serious from the outset, with ultra-fine tannins that fill the mouth and coat the tongue and cheeks, but with a fresh hint of graphite. Supple without being stilted, distinctly more slender without being austere, its supple texture gives it a beautiful length, pleasant and welcome on the palate. Juicy and vibrant, it bursts with energy and liveliness while remaining refined and elegant, without being overloaded. A truly impressive second wine, where the terroir takes center stage. Succulent and easy, but also confident and well-constructed.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
World-renowned for its opulence and consistency, this Pauillac fifth growth has belonged to the Cazes family since the 1930s and has gained considerable renown since Jean-Michel Cazes took over its management in 1973. Following the successful handover from Jean-Michel to his son Jean-Charles, the wine has maintained all its vigor and health in recent vintages, retaining its depth and gaining in tannic precision. The château produces an increasingly stylish dry white Bordeaux, but we are still waiting for a more precise wine for the second selection, Echo. A new cuvier is under construction, and it promises to be monumental, because it is important to maintain one's standing in a highly competitive world!

Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by 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 at the southern gates of Pauillac. Its success since the 1930s is the result of the continuous work of three generations of Cazes: Jean-Charles, André, and Jean-Michel. The contribution of the latter, who has now handed over the reins to his son Jean-Charles, has been essential. Its success is linked to the quality of the wines, produced from a vast 100-hectare vineyard, and also to a genuine development strategy, including wine trading and tourist infrastructure (hotel-restaurant, shops).

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Jean-Charles Cazes is now responsible for managing this prestigious Pauillac estate. However, his father, Jean-Michel, an exceptional figure in the Médoc region, tireless ambassador for Bordeaux wines, and architect of this fifth growth's reputation, is never far away. The magnificent family estate, superbly located on the Bages plateau, has produced an impressive series of wines without a single weak point since the early 1970s, imposing its rich, seductive and immediately accessible style, while being capable of aging with grace. Now equipped with a spectacular, brand-new, state-of-the-art winery, the cru is more on track than ever, and its popularity with many wine lovers is only to be expected.

About wine:
This wine has an intense character of graphite and violet, with notes of pencil lead. It is full-bodied and firm, with soft, balanced tannins. Iodine comes through. So intense. An excellent second wine. Like the great Lynch wine of the 1980s. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.

About wine:
The first vintage produced in the new facilities, Echo de Lynch-Bages 2020 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 notes of pencil lead and Pauillac 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 is very reminiscent of the style of the Grand Vin. 2023-2038

Wine rated (2021 guide) 92-93/100
About wine:
Expressive, intense bouquet, revealing mineral and fruity nuances. Straightforward and taut on the palate. The imposing tannins ensure fullness, but the wine is nonetheless balanced thanks to the freshness of its acidic structure. Echo heralds a great wine in fine style! 2025-2040
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2021 guide) 92-93/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About wine:
The nose is aromatic, elegant, and floral. It offers notes of violet, rose, and a hint of blackberry, combined with subtle touches of wild raspberry, small black berries, iris, and a subtle hint of tea and spices. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, freshness, good definition, a certain richness, floral notes, roundness and richness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/bright blackcurrant, cherry and, more subtly, iris and violet, combined with hints of saffron, pulpy/fresh red berries and subtle hints of gravel, toast, chocolate and a discreet hint of toast/sweet spices. The tannins are massive, present, structuring, and very finely mellow.
