Château Lynch-Moussas is a Fifth Growth Classified estate in Pauillac, spanning 62 hectares of Gironde gravel soils. A property of the Castéja family since 1919, the estate is today managed by Philippe Castéja, who took over in 2001. The vineyard is planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, producing wines of finesse and elegance capable of standing alongside the finest growths of the appellation.

L'histoire du domaine

The estate's history dates back to 1610, when the Domaine de Moussas-Bages belonged to the Jehan family, wine merchants. In 1748, Thomas Lynch inherited it through his marriage to Élisabeth Drouillard and renamed the property Château Lynch. His son Jean-Baptiste Lynch — future Count of the Empire, Mayor of Bordeaux in 1808 and Peer of France in 1815 — inherited the estate in 1779 and entrusted its management to his brother Michel Lynch, mayor of Pauillac. When Jean-Baptiste died in 1835, the vast estate was split in two: one part became Château Lynch-Bages, the other Château Lynch-Moussas, which retained the historic château building. In 1855, Lynch-Moussas was classified as a Fifth Growth in the Imperial classification. The property then passed to the Spanish Vasquez family in 1847, before being acquired in 1919 by Jean Castéja, already owner of several classified growths. In 1970, Émile Castéja inherited an estate in ruins, reduced to less than ten hectares. He undertook a complete reconstruction: replanting the entire vineyard, modernising the château and cellars. His son Philippe took over management in 2001, accelerating modernisation and bringing in Denis Dubourdieu and then his successor Axel Marchal as consultant oenologist. In 2019, the family celebrated a century of family ownership.

Le terroir

The Château Lynch-Moussas vineyard extends over 62 hectares across the Pauillac and Haut-Médoc appellations. The vines rest on a terroir typical of the appellation: Günzian gravel outcrops composed of pebbles and gravel cemented by clay sands, over a limestone and marl subsoil dating from the Eocene and Oligocene eras. The parcels are adjacent to those of prestigious growths — Château Latour, Lynch-Bages, Pichon-Longueville Baron, Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Batailley — attesting to the quality of the terroir. The grape variety distribution, now set at 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, is one of the few among classified Left Bank estates to feature only two varieties. Planting density reaches 8,300 vines per hectare, and the average age of vines is 25 years. The estate practices mechanical ploughing of soils, promoting aeration, biological soil life and deep vine rooting. Vinification is carried out plot by plot in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with cold maceration, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and ageing for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, of which approximately 55 to 60% are new.

Les vins

The estate's range comprises two wines. The Grand Vin, Château Lynch-Moussas, is a Pauillac Grand Cru Classé from the estate's finest parcels, blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in proportions that vary by vintage. The Lynch-Moussas style is characterised by remarkable finesse and elegance, with a silky tannic structure and vibrant acidity that give the wine length and freshness. The aromatic notes evolve around black fruits — blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry — enhanced by menthol touches, sweet spices and graphite characteristic of the appellation. Since the 2010 vintage, increased attention to the vineyard and winemaking facilities has enabled a notable qualitative rise, acclaimed by international critics. The second wine, Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas, created in 2001 by Émile and Philippe Castéja, is produced under the Haut-Médoc appellation from the youngest vines planted on the southern hillside overlooking the château. It offers a more immediate expression of the terroir, with fruit and freshness, intended for earlier consumption. Both wines stand out for their ability to express finesse rather than power, whilst retaining the structure and ageing potential proper to great Pauillac.

Le vigneron

Philippe Castéja has managed Château Lynch-Moussas since 2001, continuing the work begun by his father Émile. Representing a family deeply rooted in the Bordeaux vineyard since the 17th century — the Castéja family also owns Château Batailley and Château Trotte Vieille — he embodies both the continuity of a family tradition and a vision resolutely oriented towards modernity. Trained alongside the greatest names, Philippe has succeeded in restoring to this Fifth Growth Classified the lustre it deserved, by investing massively in the vineyard and technical facilities. Upon taking office, he brought in Denis Dubourdieu as consultant oenologist, marking a decisive qualitative turning point for the estate. Since 2016, he has worked with Axel Marchal, Denis Dubourdieu's successor, Doctor of Oenology and Professor at the University of Bordeaux, whose rigorous scientific approach and respect for terroir follow in his mentor's footsteps. At his side, Arnaud Durand, technical director of the estate since 2003, also trained under Denis Dubourdieu, ensures the daily implementation of demanding viticulture and precise winemaking. Passionate and exacting, Philippe Castéja has succeeded in transforming Lynch-Moussas into a rising reference in the Pauillac appellation.
