Any <\/span>wine tour<\/b><\/a> to <\/span>Bordeaux<\/b> would be incomplete without a trip to <\/span>Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages<\/b><\/a>. Fans of Bordeaux wine will already be familiar with this top Pauillac estate, ranked as a fifth growth in the well-known 1855 classification. To be ranked as a Grand Cru Class\u00e9 property, on any tier, is a huge deal for a winery. Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages may be officially on the fifth tier of the classification, though its reputation, its wines and its status as a wine tourism destination are closer to the top of the leaderboard!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone thinking of making a trip to Bordeaux anytime soon: Visiting Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages is an absolute must, and in this guide, we\u2019ll tell you why!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3 reasons you must visit Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Any serious wine lover won\u2019t need an excuse, but there are plenty of good reasons to make visiting Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages a top priority next time you\u2019re anywhere near it! We could go on at length, but we\u2019ve boiled it down to three absolutely essential reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages is one of Bordeaux\u2019s finest wines.<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Let\u2019s not beat around the bush: People visit wineries to taste wine, first and foremost. A wine like Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages may be relatively affordable when compared to the likes of <\/span>Ch\u00e2teau Mouton Rothschild<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Ch\u00e2teau Margaux<\/b><\/a>, but it\u2019s still gonna cost you a few hundred euros, at least. This is not an everyday wine – for most of us, at least! Making a trip to the ch\u00e2teau is a great opportunity to taste the wine without too much expense.<\/span><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages has a Michelin-star restaurant on site.<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Did that get your attention? Foodies and gastronomic geeks will certainly want to make a reservation at <\/span>Ch\u00e2teau Cordeillan-Bages<\/b><\/a>, one of Bordeaux\u2019s finest restaurants. This is the height of <\/span>Bordelaise<\/span><\/i> cuisine, served in highly memorable surroundings. Each table is unique and adorned with artwork from famous artists. The<\/span> wine list<\/b><\/a>, perhaps not surprisingly, is superb: The cellar is stocked with around 1,500 different wines, including some of the <\/span>best red wine in the world<\/b><\/a>. Oh yeah, it\u2019s also a four-star hotel, so there\u2019s that, too!<\/span><\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages has its own living, breathing village!<\/b><\/h3>\n

    So, let\u2019s picture this: You visit the ch\u00e2teau, you dine at the restaurant and you stay overnight at the hotel. Sounds good. However, Pauillac is about an hour\u2019s drive outside of Bordeaux – on a good day. There\u2019s only so much you can see in Chateau Lynch-Bages\u2019 cellar, right? Well, no. The ch\u00e2teau itself is located within its own dedicated village, <\/span>Bages<\/b><\/a>. Visit the Bages village and you\u2019ll find life is bustling. Buy wine at the local <\/span>cave<\/span><\/i>, or grab a slightly less formal lunch at the <\/span>brasserie<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Caf\u00e9 Lavinal<\/b><\/a>. Yes, they\u2019ve got two restaurants at Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages! Otherwise, take a stroll at this classic M\u00e9docaine village, and enjoy all it has to offer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    What if you can\u2019t visit Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
