WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Lynsolence, a pure Merlot wine, originates from the "Le Bert" locality in the Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens commune, featuring a terroir rich in gravelly sand and deep gravel. This family-owned estate, founded in the late 19th century, has been under Denis Barraud's care since 1971. Spanning 7 hectares in the Saint-Émilion appellation, the vineyards produce dense, complex wines with velvety tannins due to low yields and excellent terroir (Saint-Émilion Haut-Renaissance, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Château Les Gravières, and Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Lynsolence). The estate also encompasses 29 hectares in the Bordeaux appellation, yielding Bordeaux De Lyne, Bordeaux Château de la Cour d'Argent, and Bordeaux Clairet De Lyne.

The tannins are typically well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression on the palate.
