The light gold-colored 2016 Blanc de Lynch Bages has a classic, honeyed minerality and white grapefruit perfume that’s followed by a clean, medium-bodied, vibrant white that’s already drinking beautifully.

The 2016 Blanc de Lynch Bages has a delightful brioche -scented bouquet with subtle lime flower aromas and hints of frangipane . The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity. A touch of toffee apple and lychee emerges toward the nicely composed finish. Very fine.

A vivid white with mango, lemon and peach aromas. Exotic yet fresh. Pear drop. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. Juicy and clean. Always wonderful to drink, but can improve with age.

The 2016 Lynch-Bages Blanc is an attractive, easygoing white. Lemon confit, chamomile and floral notes are all pushed forward, with exotic tropical overtones from the Muscadelle that are very much in evidence.
