Jean-Charles Cazes, the owner of Lynch-Bages, talks with James about his thoughts on Bordeaux's 2019 vintage.
"It'a a vintage that is easy to understand and is very pleasing, even young. I think it's not as tight as the 2010 when they were in bottle, for instance. I think it's a more forward vintage; it's one of the great vintages of the past five years," Jean-Charles said. "2019 is the most accessible of those vintages because of the ripe fruit, and the tannins are very ripe and not aggressive at all."
"I think it's a vintage a bit like the '09, which will remain accessible at any stage," he said.
