Graceful in profile, Chateau Prieure-Lichine 2023 delivers scented cassis and black raspberry layered with hints of violet, tobacco leaf and polished oak. The palate is medium-bodied yet flavorful, with supple, finely etched tannins and a fresh line of acidity that keeps the finish long, precise and classically Margaux rather than heavyweight. This vintage shows plenty of character and depth without excess richness, promising real charm as it gains complexity in bottle.

Château Prieuré-Lichine is the estate’s grand vin, a Fourth Growth Margaux red built primarily on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot, drawn from a mosaic of gravel soils spread across the appellation. Classically styled yet polished, it’s known for its supple, velvety tannins, floral and dark-fruit aromatics, and a refined, elegant structure that can age for decades in top vintages while expressing the hallmark finesse of Margaux.
