Characteristics and tasting tips for Château Prieuré-Lichine 2023
Tasting
This vintage seduces with its delicate balance between balance, concentration, power and refinement.
A rich and delicate red wine from Margaux
The estate
4th Grand Cru Classé in 1855, the Château Prieuré-Lichine, presents all the typicality of the superb Margaux appellation, located on the left bank of the Bordeaux region.
The Château du Prieuré de Cantenac becomes the Château Prieuré-Lichine following its purchase by the charismatic Alexis Lichine, the "Pope of wine" in 1951. Upon his death in 1989, his son Sacha takes over the reins of the estate until 1999, when the property enters the fold of the Ballande group.
The philosophy of Château Prieuré-Lichine is oriented towards excellence in the production of great wines revealing all the expression and diversity of the great terroirs of the Margaux appellation.
The vineyard
This Château Prieuré-Lichine 2023 is a Margaux wine from a 75-hectare vineyard. Planted on typical Garonne gravels of the Margaux appellation, the 30-year-old vines on average benefit from an exceptional terroir.
The vintage
The mildness of the early year is offset by a hot and humid June, leading to high mildew pressure. The summer heat promotes a homogeneous veraison, as well as the maturation of the berries.
Vinification and ageing
Harvest in crates. Vibrating sorting table. Manual and optical sorting. No crushing. Gravity vatting. Maceration of 21-24 days. The ageing is carried out in barrels, 35% of which are new and 65% are barrels of one wine.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (64%)
Merlot (31%)
Petit Verdot (5%).
