Château Prieuré-Lichine 2015

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Margaux

The origins of Château Prieuré-Lichine date back to the Middle Ages, when monks planted vines for sacramental wine in what was then swampland. The land was not drained until the 17th century by the Dutch. Until his death, the Château was owned by Alexis Lichine, who was considered a wine guru in his time and is the author of the famous "l'Encyclopédie mondiale des Vins". In 1999, the Château was bought by the Ballande family, who still own it today. Since the complete renovation of the wine cellar was completed in 2013, each parcel has been vinified individually. The wines of the Château show finesse and elegance and are at the same time firm and concentrated.
