BLANC DE LYNCH BAGES 23

Jean-Michel Cazes, a lover of art, had the idea of asking an artist to create a work of art inspired by wine for Lynch-Bages. In 1989, thanks to the Galerie Lelong in Paris, he met Pierre Alechinsky and asked him to illustrate the exceptional 1989 vintage.

Blanc de Lynch-Bages was first released in 1990 and is historically one of the first white wines produced by a Grand Cru Classé in the Médoc. The wine is made from a blend of the Bordeaux appellation’s three traditional white grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle.

Approximately 75% of the juice is vinified in individually temperature-controlled barrels. As a result, the wines preserve their fresh aromas throughout the process. The wines are then stirred on lees on a regular basis and are aged for a period of six months before bottling.
