Jean-Charles Cazes, highly respected in the Médoc for his experience in viticul-
ture 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 Cazes set about restructuring and managing the estate and recently,
in 2006, handed over the running of the property to his son Jean-Charles. Read less
