Château Lynch Bages was owned by the Lynch family for three quarters of a century. Their ancestor, John Lynch, a young Irishman from Galway was exiled from his country in 1691. In the 18th century, Count Jean-Baptiste Lynch, Mayor of Bordeaux, inherited the estate and handed over management to his brother Michel Lynch, who was also Mayor of Pauillac during the French Revolution.

Jean-Charles Cazes, highly respected in the Médoc for his experience in viticulture and winemaking, bought the property in 1934. With his son André, he devoted all his energy to Lynch-Bages for more than 35 years. In 1974, his grand-son Jean-Michel set about restructuring the estate. Situated at the gates of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary from the crest of one of the most beautiful gravel ridges of the commune, the vineyards lie on gravelly slopes located on the south and south west extremities of the town.
