Well priced Lynch Bages 2024
2024 Lynch Bages
“I especially admire the long, polished finish and overall balance here. The 2024 is a virile Lynch Bages with a bright future.” - Antonio Galloni
Lynch Bages 2024 releases with one of the most compelling opening prices we’ve seen from this ever-popular Pauillac estate. At €70 per bottle and €420 In Bond per 6x75cl, it comes in well below last year’s release at €504 IB and currently sits as the lowest-priced vintage available on the market. For collectors and drinkers alike, this is exactly the kind of release En Primeur was made for—top quality at a fair price.
A Pauillac Fifth Growth in name but a First Growth in spirit, Chateau Lynch-Bages has become one of Bordeaux’s most beloved and sought-after wines. Owned by the Cazes family since 1939, the estate produces bold, structured wines that consistently outperform their classification. With vineyards planted on deep gravel soils and a state-of-the-art cellar completed in 2020, Lynch-Bages marries tradition and innovation—delivering powerful yet polished wines that age brilliantly and embody the soul of Pauillac.
Lynch-Bages 2024 is a punchy, structured Pauillac that delivers all the hallmarks of the estate in a compact, age-worthy frame. Expect dark cassis, cedar, scorched earth and graphite, with fine-grained tannins and a polished, mineral finish. A confident Lynch that speaks clearly of its terroir—offering savoury charm, impressive finesse, and real potential for long-term cellaring. Scoring 93-95 Points from Vinous and 94 from Jane Anson, the 2024 is one of the standout value buys of the vintage.

The 2024 Lynch-Bages is packed. Cedar, scorched earth, licorice, incense and pipe tobacco weave through a core of dark, sepia-toned fruit. I especially admire the long, polished finish and overall balance here. The 2024 is a virile Lynch Bages with a bright future. Tasted two times. Drinking Window: 2034 - 2054
94 Points | Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux
Ruby with violet edging, opens to show chalk and slate tannins, giving a sense of restraint and grip, this is savoury and juicy with plenty of cassis fruits, delivers Pauillac consistency in an inconsistent vintage, and also it is just rather delicious. 75% new oak. 3.67 pH, Drinking Window: 2030 - 2045
91-93 points | Vinous - Neal Martin
The 2024 Lynch-Bages was cropped at just under 30 hl/ha and aged in 75% new oak for a planned 18 months. It has some initial reduction that is shaken off after several minutes. Very pure blackberry and blueberry fruit emerges with hints of melted tar and graphite, and iodine eventually lends more complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and quite focused with grippy tannins that are impressive for their fineness. The 2024 possesses palpable mineralité and a poised finish. Though this does not touch the skyscraping heights that have been achieved in recent years, it is a "capable" Lynch-Bages that might warrant two or three years in the cellar and drink well for up to 15 years or possibly longer.
