History of the winery
The history of the estate dates back to the 16th century, and the production of its wines began in the 18th century. At that time, the Dejean family officially founded the winery by cultivating vineyards in the village of Bages. In 1728, the estate was transferred to the Drouillard family. In 1749, Thomas Lynch, Pierre Drouillard's son-in-law, took over the estate and named it after his family name "Lynch". In 1824, Swiss vintage merchant Sebastien Jurine acquired the winery and later renamed it "Chateau Jurine Bages", the name used when the winery was awarded the 1855 Fifth Class. In the 60s of the 19th century, the Cayrou family took over the winery and reverted its name to "Chateau Lynch-Bages" in honor of the Linzi family, who contributed greatly to the development of the winery.

After several rounds, the Cazes family officially acquired the Linzberg estate in 1939. Since then, the beautiful Zberg Manor, which has experienced ups and downs, has finally settled down and fully entered the era of Katz family management. Under the care of the Kaz family, the Linzberg Manor has prospered and achieved many outstanding results. In 1985, for example, half a bottle of the 1975 Château des Chéteau d'Ozberg wine flew into space with NASA's STS-51-G space shuttle, an unprecedented move. In 1985, the wines of the Linzberg estate became the official wine of Cathay Pacific First Class in Hong Kong. In 1988, the winery's 1985 vintage also won the "Wine of the Year" title from Wine Spectator.
