In the XVII century, the estate was divided into two: Bages Jurine (today Lynch-Bages) and Lynch-Moussas (named after the plateau where many of the vines are grown). Pauillac land owners since the 17th century, the Castéja family acquired Château Lynch-Moussas in the early 20th century. In 1970, Emile Castéja inherited the estate and took over management. He immediately set about developing it further. His son, Philippe Castéja, has managed this and all the family’s other estates since 2001. This date coincides with the creation of a second wine, Les Hauts de Lynch-Moussas. Château Lynch-Moussas wine is sold on the Bordeaux marketplace.
