The Castéja family, owners of the négociant house Borie-Manoux, purchased the estate in 1919 and have run it ever since; Emile Castéja led a major replanting and restoration beginning in the late 1960s. Today the 60-hectare vineyard sits on gravel, clay, sand, and limestone soils, farmed for structure and Cabernet Sauvignon-driven fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2010 vintage, one of the Left Bank's most celebrated modern years, is a 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot blend fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and aged in French oak, roughly half new, for 14 to 18 months. The result is a firmly structured, age-worthy Pauillac with dense blackberry and cassis fruit, tobacco leaf, and substantial, well-built tannins that reward patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA structured, age-worthy Fifth Growth from the celebrated 2010 vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackberry, cassis, and tobacco leaf on both the nose and palate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm, substantial tannins built for the cellar or a hearty meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA vintage widely regarded as one of the finest classic years for the Left Bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 89 points by The Wine Cellar Insider.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen years on, the wine is settling into a beautiful drinking window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at 60-65°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecant for 1 to 2 hours to soften the still-firm tannins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into a Bordeaux stem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with a grilled bone-in ribeye and Bordelaise sauce, or a rosemary-scented rack of lamb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47286323118134,"sku":"SOMM2608-LM10PAU-750","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2010ChateauLynch-Moussas_Pauillac5thGrowth.png?v=1787090547","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2010-chateau-lynch-moussas-pauillac-5th-growth","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
