Jean-Michel Cazes and his sister
Sylvie, owners of the famous Château Lynch Bages,
a “Grand Cru Classé” and one of
the most reputed chateaux in the Medoc, have created
this wine school to offer all wine lovers the opportunity
to discover the world of Bordeaux wines. The school,
located on the Allées Tourny, right in the
historical center of the town, is in a 19th century
building with a view over the opera, the “Grand
Théâtre” and the central market,
“Marché des Grands Hommes”. Thanks
to its location, you will have the opportunity to
visit the best Châteaux of the most famous wine-making
areas such as the Medoc, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, the
Graves or Sauternes.
