Wine Critic Reviews
The 2017 Blanc de Lynch Bages, already bottled, is a blend of 41% Sémillon, 40% Sauvignon Blanc and 19% Muscadelle. It leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of white peaches, pink grapefruit and passion fruit plus hints of dried herbs, cedar and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, elegantly played and wonderfully refreshing in the mouth, it has a quiet intensity that grows into a vibrant expression on the finish.

The 2017 Blanc de Lynch Bages is aged for 6 months in 45% new oak on the lees. It has a tightly wound bouquet at first that opens with time. Golden Delicious mixed with pear and a touch of sea spray, though I would like a little more delineation. The palate is nicely balanced with pear and nectarine notes. It needs just a tad more tension and complexity on the finish. I can’t help thinking that a partial malo would have just given another dimension here.
