What is the difference between Château Lynch-Bages and its second wine, Echo de Lynch-Bages?
Echo de Lynch-Bages, formerly known as Haut-Bages Averous, is the estate's second wine. It is crafted from the château's youngest vines as well as blends not selected for the Grand Vin. While Echo shares the aromatic DNA of Lynch-Bages — that expressive dark fruit and characteristic Médoc structure — it offers a softer texture, less concentrated tannins, and a faster maturity, ideal for drinking between five and ten years after the vintage. It is an excellent entry point for discovering the estate's style at a more accessible price, while still offering a level of quality well above the average for Bordeaux wines in its price range.
