Certainly there has been no truly profound Lynch Bages since the 2000, preceded by the 1996, 1990, and 1989.

The Bartons respect tradition but do not ignore progress. A modern de-stemmer and the latest wine press have been introduced for the vinification. Generally fermentation lasts about five days during which the juice is pumped over twice daily. The wine is left with the skins for two weeks approximately but this depends on the quality of the crop. The wine is then drawn off and the skins are pressed, thereby obtaining the ” vin de presse ” which is an important component in the
