Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux Grand Cru Classe 2021

Château Prieuré-Lichine Margaux Grand Cru Classé 2021 is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux that captures the elegance and perfume Margaux is celebrated for. With its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, it offers refinement, structure, and the pedigree of a historic Grand Cru Classé estate.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with youthful, vibrant edges. The nose leans toward blackcurrant, ripe plum, violet, cedar, and subtle graphite, with a refined spicy lift from Petit Verdot. On the palate, expect a polished and medium-to-full-bodied Margaux profile: supple dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and notes of tobacco, cassis, and a touch of oak spice. The 2021 vintage is known for balance and precision rather than power, giving the wine attractive immediate charm while also allowing several years of cellar development. It should age gracefully over the next 8–15 years, gaining complexity and softness with time.

Production
Château Prieuré-Lichine is located in Margaux on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils provide excellent drainage and help the Cabernet Sauvignon ripen with freshness and finesse. The vineyard benefits from a classic Margaux terroir that encourages aromatic complexity and elegant tannin structure. Harvesting is typically done with careful parcel selection, and vinification is geared toward preserving fruit purity and balance, followed by maturation in oak barrels to add structure and depth.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for about 1 hour if drinking young to allow the aromatics and tannins to खुल slightly and show more detail.

Producer
Château Prieuré-Lichine is a renowned Margaux estate with a long history dating back centuries, later renamed under the ownership of Alexis Lichine, one of Bordeaux’s most influential wine figures. Classified as a Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it holds an important place in the Margaux appellation and is widely respected for producing wines that combine elegance, aromatic finesse, and classic Bordeaux character.
