Prieure Lichine 4ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux - Double Magnum 3L, 2022

Château Prieuré-Lichine’s 2022 Margaux in double magnum format offers a particularly elegant way to enjoy a classed-growth Bordeaux built on finesse, balance, and longevity. As a 4ème Grand Cru Classé from one of Margaux’s most respected estates, it combines the appellation’s signature perfume and refinement with the added appeal of a large-format bottle, ideal for extended cellaring and special occasions.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep ruby colour in youth, with a bright, polished core. On the nose, expect the classic Margaux profile: dark berries, blackcurrant, violet, cedar, and subtle spice, with a refined floral lift and hints of graphite and oak in the background. On the palate, it is usually medium to full-bodied, with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and a layered, graceful texture rather than sheer power. The finish should be long and precise, carrying notes of cassis, red cherry, tobacco, and mineral nuance. The 3L format supports slower, more even evolution, making it especially well suited to long-term ageing.

Production
Prieuré-Lichine is located in the Margaux appellation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravelly soils and the tempering influence of the nearby Gironde help produce wines with aromatic complexity and structure. While detailed vinification specifics are not provided here, estates of this level typically harvest at optimal ripeness and vinify parcel by parcel to preserve the character of each plot before ageing in oak barrels to build depth and polish.

Food & Serving
This is a classic match for refined red-meat dishes such as roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, or game birds, as well as mushroom-based dishes and truffle preparations. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended in the wine’s youth to allow the aromatics to open and the tannins to soften, especially for a large-format bottle that may benefit from an hour or more in the glass before serving.

Producer
Château Prieuré-Lichine is a historic Margaux estate that rose to prominence under Alexis Lichine, whose influence helped shape its modern reputation and identity. Classified as a 4ème Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it holds an important place in the Left Bank hierarchy and is widely respected for producing wines that express the elegance and perfume associated with Margaux. The estate’s consistent quality has made it a dependable name among Bordeaux collectors and enthusiasts.
