Details

Chteau Haut-Bages Averous was the name of the former Pauillac estate acquired by Andr Cazes and was the domaine’s second wine from 1976 onwards. It was renamedEcho de Lynch-Bagesas of the2012 vintage in order to affirm its relationship with the Grand Cru Class.Its name Echo refers to the nymph fromGreek mythologywho was deprived of speech by Hera as a punishment for distracting her when Zeus wished to consort with beautiful mortals. As such, althoughEcho de Lynch-Bages is not the first to speak, it shares the first wine’s elegance and character. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, the Deuxieme Vin of Lynch Bages has blackberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of tobacco on the nose. Good definition. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, succulent entry, powdery tannins with a fine blackberry, raspberry and cassis-tinged finish. Moderate length.
