Though officially classified as a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it is widely regarded as a "super second" because its quality consistently rivals that of higher-ranked Second Growth estates. Situated on the Bages plateau just southwest of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Lynch-Bages is owned by the Cazes family since 1939. Under the leadership of the late Jean-Michel Cazes and currently his son Jean-Charles Cazes, the estate has gained international legendary status. For more info, visit Château Lynch Bages website.
