The Château Lynch-Bages 2007 is a red wine from the Pauillac appellation in the revered Bordeaux region, classified as a Grand Cru, known for producing some of the most prestigious wines in the world. This vintage, while not specified, typically consists of a blend primarily featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, and sometimes small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. 2007 was a challenging year for Bordeaux, characterized by a summer that was cooler and wetter than average, impacting the ripening of the grapes. However, vineyards that practised meticulous grape sorting, like Lynch-Bages, were able to produce wines of significant quality despite these conditions. The terroir of Pauillac, marked by its gravelly soil ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, combined with the vineyard's traditional vinification methods, gives this wine its bold structure and complex character.
Médoc's region benefits from a temperate climate moderated by the Gironde estuary, which reduces the risk of frost and contributes to the gradual ripening of the grapes. The region’s gravely soil ensures excellent drainage, crucial during the wetter 2007 growing season. Bordeaux's history in winemaking dates back to Roman times, with Pauillac rising to prominence in the 18th and 19th centuries.
For culinary pairings, the Château Lynch-Bages 2007's rich tannins and robust flavours work beautifully with red meats, such as roasted lamb or beef, especially when accompanied by a Bordelaise sauce. A classic local dish like entrecôte à la Bordelaise, with its shallot-rich wine sauce, elevates the wine’s flavours. Rich stews or a selection of hard cheeses will also match beautifully with this wine.
To fully appreciate its bouquet and depth, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting it for an hour before serving will help to unlock its aromas and soften the tannins, making for a harmonious tasting experience.
