Château Prieuré-Lichine 2016

Château Prieuré-Lichine, a 4ème Grand Cru Classé from 1855, lies in the heart of the Margaux appellation and owns scattered parcels on classic deep gravel soils that provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This diversity of terroirs gives the wines elegant, floral Margaux finesse combined with clear dark fruit, fine spice and supple tannins.

Since the era of Alexis Lichine and through later modern investments, the estate has been extensively renewed: precise parcel work, sustainable farming and a state-of-the-art cellar define the current style. Prieuré-Lichine produces balanced, charming and at the same time long-lived wines that reflect the famous Margaux profile in an authentic and highly accessible way.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
