Lynsolence 2000

The wine

Château l'Lynsolence is a "micro-cuvée", created in 1998 and produced in very small quantities. Here again, the wines are very dark, concentrated and fruity. The bouquet is creamy, with notes of Morello cherries and cashews. On the palate it is supple, full-bodied, rich, silky and well-structured. The finish is very long.

About the Producer Lynsolence

The Château Lynsolence is a pure Merlot, produced in the commune of Saint Sulpice de Faleyrens, in an area known as Le Bert, on a sandy, very gravelly terroir, on deep gravel. Created in the 19th century the property has always been family-run. It was enlarged by Pierre-Henri Descambe, Denis Barraud's grandfather, who has managed the property since 1971. There are 7 hectares in the Saint Emilion appellation, where low yields and a good terroir enable the production of dense, complex wines, with lovely smooth tannins (Saint-Émilion Haut-Renaissance, Saint Emilion Grand Cru Château Les Gravières and Saint Emilion Grand Cru Lynsolence) and 29 hectares in the Bordeaux appellation (Bordeaux De Lyne, Bordeaux Château de la Cour d'Argent and Bordeaux Clairet De Lyne).
