About this wine
The grand vin of Prieuré-Lichine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a little Petit Verdot. It is a fragrant, medium- to full-bodied Margaux with blackcurrant, floral notes and supple tannins. It drinks well after six to eight years and good vintages continue to develop for twenty years.
About Prieure-Lichine
Château Prieuré-Lichine is a Fourth Growth of the 1855 Classification in the Margaux appellation, based in a former Benedictine priory in Cantenac. It was bought in 1951 by Alexis Lichine, the wine writer and merchant, who added his name to the estate and greatly enlarged its vineyards.
The estate is now owned by the Ballande group. Its vineyard holdings are spread across several communes of the Margaux appellation, and the wines are known for their fragrance and approachable charm.
