Château Haut Bages Averous - 2003 - Château Grand Puy Lacoste
Ref: A033903
Pauillac (Second wine of Château Grand Puy Lacoste)

This 2003 has a very soft and open style with fine texture and a deep ripe blackcurrant fruit. A good deep colour is accompanied by a predominantly Cabernet bouquet and some good length.The wine is 65% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Drink 2006 to 2010.

Emigrants to Bordeaux from Ireland, the Lynch family gained a certain prominence, and by the mid-18th century owned the large domain of 'Bages' south of Pauillac. After a series of owners in the 19th century, the Cazes family took control in 1935, and Lynch Bages is now the beautiful property of the well-known Jean-Michel Cazes. The wines see classic vinificaion spending 20-22 months in barrels of which 25% are new annually. The results are well balanced and fruity, usually matures within 5 to 8 years. The 1998 still needs a bit of time as its tannins are still quite forward and dominate the big and well structured fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon 75% Merlot 15% Cabernet Franc 10%
