Chateau Prieure-Lichine 2017

Château Prieuré-Lichine 2017 is an incredibly elegant, polished, and fresh Left Bank red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation. Despite a challenging, frost-affected vintage, the estate produced a highly graceful and resilient wine. The nose opens with an expressive, beautifully perfumed bouquet of crushed blackberries, blackcurrants, and fresh roses, accented by warm hints of cinnamon, cloves, and cedar. On the palate, this medium-bodied red is remarkably supple and caressing, featuring layers of juicy dark plum, black cherry, and subtle black tea. It is structured by fine-grained, silky tannins and a lively line of acidity, culminating in a balanced, persistent, and clean mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: This refined Margaux pairs beautifully with herb-roasted rack of lamb, slow-cooked duck breast, classic beef tenderloin, or a savory wild mushroom tart.
