Description
Lynch-Bages est l'un des plus iconiques signatures de Pauillac avec une histoire marquante et un style bien à lui.
Son deuxième vin est de loin ce qui se fait de mieux dans le style. Plus accessible jeune, il offre tout de même un certain caractère propre à son terroir de Pauillac.
Privilégiez les grands millésimes pour les seconds vins comme ici avec ce 2016 où toute mauvaise surprise sera évitée !

Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"Aromas of sandalwood, cedar and dark berries follow through to a full body, with chewy and rich tannins that remain fine-grained and polished. Flavorful, too. Second wine of Lynch. Try after 2023."
The Wine Advocate
"The 2016 Echo de Lynch Bages is deep garnet-purple colored and opens with kirsch, redcurrant jelly and baked blackcurrants with nuances of tilled soil and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, packed, elegant, refreshing and tightly wound with firm tannins, finishing long."
Wine Spectator
"Shows a slightly dusty edge, but the core of fruit bursts with friendly cassis and cherry compote flavors. Cedar and singed vanilla accents score the finish." J.M.
Decanter
"Echo de Lynch-Bages this year accounts for 25% of overall production, and even here we are at a tannin index of 85IPT. But the freshness is undeniable, with a pH of 3.55 giving beautiful violet reflections on the colour. On the palate, there are softer brambly fruits than in the grand vin. 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038."
Jancis Robinson
"73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot. Second-year barrels. Very deep crimson. Rather pure and alluring on the nose. Then a little tart on the end. As though all the wines with less ripe phenolics went into this. Sandpaper tannins."
Vinous
"The 2016 Echo de Lynch Bages offers lovely intensity in its bold, forward fruit. Sweet dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and menthol infuse this deep, racy Pauillac. Sumptuous and resonant on the palate, the 2016 will drink nicely right out of the gate. Today, the primary fruit is super-expressive."
Un second vin, mais pas n'importe lequel !
