Grape variety: \u00a0 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot<\/p>\n
Soil: \u00a0 Gunzian gravels<\/p>\n
Vineyards of Lynch Moussas\u00a0 amount to almost 60 hectares, with some adjacent to the Batalley and Grand- Puy -Lacoste vineyards, obviously there is some near the village of Moussas, and there are also some vine further north, near the Duhart-Milon vineyards.<\/p>\n
The vines are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, accounting for 70% of the vineyard, the remainder entirely Merlot, and the vines dig their roots deep into the gravels that are typical of the region.<\/p>\n
The fruit sees a manual harvest, before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with subsequent malolactic fermentation in the same vessel before transfer into oak, 60% new per annum.<\/p>\n
88 Points – Robert Parker (Wine Advocate)<\/p>\n
“Proprietor Philippe Casteja continues to upgrade the quality of this long forgotten Pauillac. The user friendly 2004 offers sweet tannin along with copious quantities of herb and cedar-tinged black currant and cherry fruit. This medium-bodied, soft wine is ideal for drinking over the next decade.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
