Over het wijnhuis | Château Prieuré-Lichine is een 4e Grand Cru Classé in de gemeente Cantenac in AOC Margaux. Het begon ooit als een klooster van de Benedictijnen, die wijn produceerden voor religieus gebruik. Zoals veel landgoederen tijdens de Franse Revolutie werd ook Prieuré-Lichine in beslag genomen, opgesplitst en geveild. |

Awards | "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Prieure-Lichine offers up notes of fresh redcurrants, blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries and dried Provence herbs, plus wafts of tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of pure black and red fruit flavors, framed by grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a refreshing herbal lift." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Black cherries, blackcurrants, tobacco, cacao and some licorice on the nose. Firm yet creamy, with very fine tannins that spread across the palate. Medium to full body. So long and beautifully balanced. Try from 2026." - James Suckling "65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Bright crimson hue. Fragrant dark-berry-fruit nose with a hint of chocolate. Juicy fruit on the palate with well-integrated toasted oak. Tannins dense, offering persistence and drive. Little dry (oak?) on the finish but has potential. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Prieuré-Lichine opens with very pretty floral and spice overtones. Pliant, silky and nuanced, the 2020 is all charm. The purity of the red/purplish berry fruit is compelling. Readers will find an understated, classy Margaux full of character. I can't wait to taste this from bottle. A bit clenched today, but that should not be an issue with time. The Prieuré-Lichine finishes with notable freshness and savory intensity." - Vinous "Ripe and focused, with a violet and alder frame that marries well to the core of lightly steeped plum and black currant fruit flavors. The alder edge asserts itself on the finish, though the fruit keeps pace just a half-step behind. This should settle in with some cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2036." - Wine Spectator "Plenty of juicy dripping autumnal fruit, cassis and blueberry with a crack of black pepper and a good lick of saline freshness on the finish that makes you want to take another sip. One of the clear successes, intense and concentrated with balanced tannins and acidity, if some bitter almond overtones. A yield of 32hl/ha. 40% new oak. Harvested right through to October 1st. Tasted twice." - Decanter |
