Prieure Lichine 4ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2021

Château Prieuré-Lichine 2021 is a refined 4ème Grand Cru Classé from Margaux, offering the elegance and aromatic charm that have made this Left Bank appellation so admired. Known for its balance, finesse, and classic Bordeaux structure, it reflects both the heritage of the estate and the precision of modern winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby colour with a youthful purple edge. The nose leans toward fresh red and black berries, violet, graphite, and subtle cedar notes, with the floral lift and silky profile that are hallmarks of Margaux. On the palate, it is usually medium-bodied and graceful, with ripe but restrained fruit, fine tannins, and bright acidity supporting a long, polished finish. The 2021 vintage suggests a more classical, fresh expression, with good aging potential as the wine develops greater complexity over the next decade or more.

Production
From the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux, Château Prieuré-Lichine benefits from gravelly soils that promote drainage and encourage elegant, well-structured Cabernet-led wines. The estate’s vineyards are shaped by the moderate maritime climate of the Médoc, which helps preserve freshness in the fruit. The wine is produced using careful harvesting and traditional Bordeaux vinification, with élevage in oak to build texture, complexity, and aging capacity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, veal, and mushroom-based dishes, as well as hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at around 16–18°C and, if possible, decant for 1–2 hours when young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.

Producer
Château Prieuré-Lichine is one of Margaux’s respected classified growth estates and carries a strong reputation for producing wines of fragrance, finesse, and classic Médoc character. The château’s modern identity was shaped under the guidance of Alexis Lichine, whose influence helped raise the estate’s profile and enduring significance in Bordeaux. Today it remains a notable name in the region, appreciated for combining tradition with a polished, contemporary style.
