【Feature】Chateau Lynch Moussas

Lynch-Moussas is a historic estate purchased by the Lynch family and formerly located on three large plateaux: Mardrac, Moussas, and Bages. In the 19h century, the estate was divided into two: Bages Jurine (today Lynch-Bages) and Lynch- Moussas (named after the plateau where many of the vines are grown).

 

Pauillac land owners since the 17th century, the Casteja family acquired Chateau Lynch-Moussas in the early 20th century. Emile Casteja inherited the estate, as well as management, in 1970 and immediately set about enhancing its development. His son, Philippe Casteja, has managed this red and all the family’s other estates since 2001.

 

This date coincides with the creation of a second wine, Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas.

Chateau Lynch-Moussas wine is sold on the Bordeaux marketplace.
