Prieure Lichine 4ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux, 2022

Prieuré-Lichine 2022 is a classic Margaux from a historic Fourth Growth estate, offering the elegance, perfume, and finesse that make this appellation so admired. With its Grand Cru Classé pedigree, it combines pedigree and approachability in a style that reflects both Bordeaux tradition and modern precision.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour with a bright, youthful core. On the nose, it typically shows layered aromas of blackcurrant, ripe cherry, violet, cedar, and a gentle touch of spice and graphite. On the palate, the wine is usually medium to full-bodied with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a refined texture that carries notes of dark berries, plum, tobacco, and subtle oak. The finish should be long and graceful, with the structure to reward cellaring over the medium to long term.

Production
Prieuré-Lichine is based in Margaux on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils and a temperate Atlantic-influenced climate help produce wines of fragrance, precision, and balance. The estate’s vineyards are managed with a focus on preserving fruit purity and site expression, and the 2022 vintage benefited from carefully timed harvesting to capture optimal ripeness and freshness. Vinification is typically carried out in a classic Bordeaux style with parcel selection, temperature-controlled fermentation, and ageing in oak barrels to build complexity and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the aromatics open and soften the tannins.

Producer
Château Prieuré-Lichine is one of Margaux’s most recognised names and has long been associated with the elegance of Bordeaux’s Left Bank.
