Famille J.M.Cazes
In Pauillac in the Médoc, Famille J.M. Cazes embodies the rare mix of family narrative and grand terroir. After ancestors arrived from Ariège around 1875, the story took its defining turn in 1939, when Jean‑Charles Cazes acquired Château Lynch‑Bages and anchored the name in the Left Bank’s deep gravels.
These croupes of Graves over clay are tailor‑made for Cabernet Sauvignon: heat‑retaining yet freely draining, shaping the firm architecture for which Pauillac is renowned. Vineyard work is parcel‑by‑parcel, with selective picking and exact fermentation management, followed by élevage where oak is a frame—barriques, time, and meticulous blending.
The Cazes philosophy also reaches beyond the cellar, from the revival of the village of Bages to a family of sister estates. Still, the core remains constant: to translate place with such clarity that heritage feels alive in every sip.Famille J.M.Cazes
