Chateau Lynch-Bages Blanc de Lynch-Bages 2018

Blanc de Lynch-Bages 2018Chateau Lynch-BagesBlanc 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.Characteristic of fine Bordeaux whites, Blanc de Lynch-Bages is bright and flavorful with citrus aromas in its youth and develops harmonious floral notes with ageing. 94 points DecanterA balanced, juicy, slate-filled mineral edge here, with a crisp shot of mint. Has a lovely balance of rich texture and acidity, with lime blossom and citrus. (11/2020) 93 points Wine SpectatorA lively thyme note
