The name of Chevalier Michel Lynch, a passionate winegrower, owner of the Bages estate and founder of the current Château Lynch-Bages is an integral part of the history of the great wines of Bordeaux. Michel Lynch was born in 1754 and devoted his life to improving the wines on his property, the Lynch-Bages estate. A knowledgeable winegrower, he was one of the main forces in the progress made in the wine sector at the end of the 18th century. He was responsible for the first trials of de-stemming (separating the stalk and the berries) before fermentation, a method that was to become widespread during the 19th century in the Médoc region.

Michel Lynch Merlot is a texbook example of this varietal. Red cherry, plum, blackberry, violet and mushroom notes blend perfectly in the glass. The wine has bright acidity and somewhat firm tannins. On the palate this Merlot is extremely pleasant and persistent with a distinct flavor of Chanterelles mushrooms. Spectacular value at $12 retail. Extremely recommended.
