Michel Lynch

Born in 1754, Michel Lynch from Galay, Ireland devoted his life to improving the wines on his Lynch-Bages property in bordeaux. A shrewd wine producer, he was one of the prime movers in the viticultural advances at the end of the 17th century, in particular with the early trials of de-stemming (separating the stalk and pips) before fermentation, which subsequently became widespread in Médoc. Jean-Michel Cazes, the signature towards the end of the 1980s, the owner of Lynch-Bages and tireless globetrotter in the name of promoting Bordeaux wines, Jean-Michel Cazes devised a sort of spiritual affiliation in honour of Michel Lynch, naming this new range of wines after him.
