Origins dating back<\/span>
\nto the 17th<\/sup> century.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Ch\u00e2teau\u2019s history goes back to 1610, when Domaine de Moussas-Bages belonged to the Jehan family, who were wine merchants and owners of several estates. In 1728, Domaine de Moussas-Bages was purchased by the Drouillard family.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1557766662767{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.lynch-moussas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Lynch_Retouchok-1.jpg?id=494) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=”yes” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1555571021527{background-color: #f8f7f7 !important;}” el_id=”section-3″][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1555942256603{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.lynch-moussas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2.jpg?id=29) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

The Lynches arrive on the scene in 1748.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 1748, Thomas Lynch inherited the Domaine through his wife, Elisabeth Drouillard, and renamed it Ch\u00e2teau Lynch. In 1779, Jean-Baptiste Lynch, who was the mayor of Bordeaux in 1808, a Count of the Empire in 1811, and then Peer of France in 1815, inherited the Ch\u00e2teau and entrusted its management to his brother, Michel Lynch, a knight and the mayor of Pauillac. When Jean-Baptiste Lynch died in 1835, Ch\u00e2teau Lynch was split into two estates. Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas (located at the place named Moussas) and Lynch-Bages (located at the place named Bages) thus came into existence. Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas kept the ch\u00e2teau building.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=”yes” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_id=”section-4″][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

From 1847 to 1918:<\/span>
\nthe Spanish era<\/span>
\nand the classification of the Ch\u00e2teau.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 1847, Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas was purchased by the Vasquez, a Spanish wine merchant family. Subsequently, in 1855, Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas was classified as a 5th Grand Cru Class\u00e9 du M\u00e9doc. The official 1855 classification of the wines of Bordeaux, organised by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, was set up on the occasion of the Paris Universal Exhibition at the request of Napol\u00e9on III. This classification only comprised the wines of the left bank of the river and included a \u201cVin Sup\u00e9rieur de Sauternes\u201d, Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019Yquem, and a Pessac-L\u00e9ognan, Ch\u00e2teau Haut Brion. This classification continues to prove a guarantee of high quality to this day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1583772052735{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.lynch-moussas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/lynch-moussas-histoire-02.jpg?id=982) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=”yes” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1583770761167{background-color: #f8f7f7 !important;}” el_id=”section-5″][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1583772083234{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.lynch-moussas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/lynch-moussas-histoire-01.jpg?id=986) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

The acquisition of the Ch\u00e2teau by the Cast\u00e9ja family in 1919.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 1919, Jean Cast\u00e9ja, the owner of Ch\u00e2teau Duhart-Milon (a 4th Grand Cru Class\u00e9 in Pauillac), Ch\u00e2teau Pichon-Longueville Baron (a 2nd Grand Cru Class\u00e9 in Pauillac), and Ch\u00e2teau Doisy-V\u00e9drines (a 2nd Grand Cru Class\u00e9 in Sauternes and Barsac), added Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas to the family estates. At that time, the property covered over 250 hectares, 120 of which were made up of vines, woodland and pastureland. At the end of the 1960s, Jean Cast\u00e9ja\u2019s sons (Pierre, \u00c9mile, Jean, and \u00c9douard Cast\u00e9ja) decided to divide up the family\u2019s assets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=”yes” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

From 1970 to the 2000s: the Ch\u00e2teau\u2019s rise towards the summit.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 1970, \u00c9mile Cast\u00e9ja (the husband of Denise Borie and father of Chantal Preben Hansen and Philippe Cast\u00e9ja) took over the reins of the Ch\u00e2teau, undertaking numerous works to overhaul the property. From a surface area that had fallen to less than ten hectares, \u00c9mile Cast\u00e9ja replanted the entirety of the vineyard and increased its size to 60 hectares. He modernised the Ch\u00e2teau, restoring this magnificent manor house to its former glory, and renovated the cellars to equip them with better winemaking facilities. The Ch\u00e2teau now gained renown for the high quality of its wines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1602081425317{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.lynch-moussas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/7H0A0406.jpg?id=1473) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_height=”yes” columns_placement=”stretch” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1612167970229{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.lynch-moussas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/7H0A0825.jpg?id=1509) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_id=”section-4″ el_class=”vc_row_right_text”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”hidden”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1612167727529{background-color: rgba(250,200,117,0.9) !important;*background-color: rgb(250,200,117) !important;}”][vc_column_text]\n

From the 2000s to the present day:<\/span>
\nthe modernisation of the Ch\u00e2teau and the birth of a Second Wine.<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the 2000s, Philippe Cast\u00e9ja took over the management of the estate, adding impetus to the estate\u2019s development and modernisation, and brought in Denis Dubourdieu and his team as wine consultants. For the 2001 vintage, \u00c9mile and Philippe Cast\u00e9ja launched the estate\u2019s Second Wine, \u201cLes Hauts de Lynch-Moussas\u201d, produced from the estate\u2019s youngest plots. On 21st June 2019, the Cast\u00e9ja Heirs celebrated 100 years of having owned and run Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas. To mark the occasion, they organised the 2019 F\u00eate de la Fleur at Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Moussas.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
