Viniou Reviews

Château Lynch-Bages 2002 is a Pauillac wine from the renowned Médoc subregion in Bordeaux, France. This vintage, like many from Pauillac, is celebrated for its robust and complex profile. While the blend details aren't specified, it typically includes a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The terroir of Pauillac contributes significantly to the wine's character, with its gravelly soils providing excellent drainage, thus promoting deep root growth and concentration in the vines. The 2002 vintage experienced a challenging growing season with a cool, wet spell followed by a warm, dry period later in the summer, resulting in wines that balance subtlety with strength.

The Bordeaux region is one of the most prestigious wine-producing areas globally, recognised for its varied climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The proximity to the Gironde Estuary offers a microclimate conducive to grape growing, with mild winters and warm, often humid summers. Pauillac, in particular, is home to three of the five first-growth châteaux, emphasising its historical significance and contribution to the identity of Bordeaux wines.

For pairing this Pauillac, think of dishes that complement its structured tannins and rich flavours. Succulent red meats such as lamb or beef, especially when roasted or grilled, create a harmonious pairing. Traditional French dishes like duck confit or even a beef bourguignon would also work splendidly. If you're exploring cheese, a selection of aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Cantal would underline the wine's depth.

When tasting this wine, ensure it is served at around 16-18°C to fully enjoy its balance of fruitiness and earthiness. Decanting it for an hour will enhance its bouquet, allowing the complex aromas to unfold, revealing layers of dark fruit, tobacco, and subtle spicy notes that exemplify the characteristic style of a Pauillac wine.
