Château Lynch-Bages is a prominent wine estate located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. Classified as a Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it consistently performs at a level that many consider to be well above its official rank. The estate has been owned by the Cazes family since 1939 and is known for producing powerful, full-bodied wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller proportions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Lynch-Bages has gained a strong international following and is often referred to as one of the "Super Seconds" of Bordeaux.
Pauillac is a prestigious appellation located in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. Known for producing some of the world's most renowned and expensive red wines, Pauillac is home to three of the five Bordeaux First Growths: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, and Château Mouton Rothschild. The region's terroir is characterized by well-drained gravel soils, ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, which dominates the wine blends. Pauillac wines are typically full-bodied, tannic, and complex, with flavors of black currant, cedar, and tobacco. They are known for their exceptional aging potential. Pauillac's reputation for producing powerful, elegant, and long-lived wines has solidified its status as a benchmark for Bordeaux reds.
Château Lynch-Bages wines are deeply influenced by its prime location and soil composition. The estate's vineyards span approximately 100 hectares on the Bages plateau, featuring the classic Médoc soil profile of deep gravel beds over limestone subsoil. This terroir provides excellent drainage and heat retention, creating ideal conditions for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The gravelly soils force the vines to grow deep root systems, contributing to the wine's complexity and concentration. Additionally, the estate's position allows for optimal sun exposure and benefits from the moderating influence of the nearby Gironde estuary, factors that collectively contribute to the production of consistently high-quality grapes and the resulting powerful, age-worthy wines.

Frequently Asked Questions
En Primeur, also known as "futures," is the opportunity to purchase wines while they are still aging in the producer’s cellar, before they are bottled and released to the public. Buying En Primeur allows you to secure highly sought-after wines at an early stage, often at a better value than post-release pricing.
Purchase: When you purchase En Primeur wines, you are paying only for the cost of the bottles at the time of ordering. Shipping charges, applicable tariffs, and taxes will be billed separately once the wines are ready for delivery to the United States.
Securing Your Wines: Once your order is placed, we immediately work to secure your allocation.
Updates and Confirmation: As the wines prepare for shipment to the U.S., typically around September or October following the vintage release, we will reach out to confirm your shipping information and provide an invoice for any outstanding shipping and tariff fees.
Shipping: After final payment is completed, we will ship your wines to you. Please note that wines will not be shipped until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
Because En Primeur purchases are secured specifically based on your order, cancellations are not permitted after the order is placed. If you have any concerns, please contact us at hello@heritagecellar.com, through the form on our website, or via chat - we're happy to help answer any questions before you complete your order.
While we strive to provide accurate timelines, delays can sometimes occur due to factors beyond our control, such as shipping logistics or regulatory changes. We will keep you updated throughout the process. In the rare event that a wine becomes unavailable, we will offer you the choice to wait, select a substitute of similar style and value, or receive a refund for the cost of the wine.
Shipping is not included in the initial purchase price. Once the wines are ready to ship, we’ll reach out to confirm your details and send a final invoice for any shipping and tariff charges. Nothing ships until all final balances are paid. Usually ships in the fall two (2) years following the vintage.
