As a renowned Fifth Growth estate in the Pauillac appellation, Château Lynch-Bages produced a classic, medium-bodied 2011 vintage that showcased the more restrained style of that growing season in Bordeaux. The 2011 Lynch-Bages would have relied on a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon to provide structure and complexity, balanced by Merlot for added softness and approachability. While perhaps lacking the sheer concentration and power of the estate's top vintages, the 2011 Lynch-Bages still offered Bordeaux enthusiasts an elegant, age-worthy expression of this prestigious Pauillac property's signature style.
