“The Lynch-Moussas bouquet unfolds gradually. It starts off with a hint of reduction, which bodes well for its aging potential! After some aeration, notes of black berries and pepper, along with a touch of eucalyptus, come to the fore. On the palate, the wine displays compact, velvety tannins. These lend power and form a solid foundation, working in harmony with the acidity. A wine that continues to evolve and is gaining in definition.” (Yves Beck 2026)

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 earlier than most wines from its appellation, which should make it a more common choice on restaurant wine lists, offering good value for the price.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
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.

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 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 complete 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.
