Prieure Lichine 4ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2017

Prieuré-Lichine 2017 is a refined Fourth Growth Margaux that captures the elegance and perfume the appellation is known for. As a Grand Cru Classé from Bordeaux, it offers a classic Left Bank profile with poise, structure, and undeniable charm.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful violet reflections. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, while the palate combines fresh red and black fruit with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a graceful, medium-bodied finish. The 2017 vintage is generally approachable in its youth, but it has the balance and structure to develop further complexity over time. With careful cellaring, it should continue to gain softness and tertiary notes over the next 8–15 years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
Sourced from the gravelly soils of Margaux, Prieuré-Lichine benefits from terroir that naturally favors Cabernet-driven wines with fragrance and finesse. The grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel to preserve freshness and ripeness, then vinified with a focus on gentle extraction and careful aging in French oak to build texture without overpowering the fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to allow the aromatics and tannins to fully open.

Producer
Château Prieuré-Lichine is one of Margaux’s most respected historic estates and has been classified as a Fourth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. The château has long been associated with elegance and consistency, and under modern stewardship it has continued to strengthen its reputation as a benchmark producer in the appellation.
