About the Chateau Prieure-Lichine 2016
Château Prieuré-Lichine 2016 is a profoundly elegant, aromatic, and beautifully balanced Left Bank red wine from the renowned Margaux appellation. Born of an outstanding vintage, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot exhibits a deep garnet-purple hue and opens with an intensely scented, expressive bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, black raspberries, and dark plums, accented by delicate notes of lavender, fresh tobacco leaf, cedar, and crushed gravel. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and remarkably polished, offering an alluring, velvety texture supported by fine-grained, chalky tannins, vibrant dark berry flavors, and a refreshing, minerally core that extends into a long, persistent, and highly classy finish.
Food Pairing: This sophisticated Margaux pairs spectacularly with herb-roasted rack of lamb, classic duck confit, grilled ribeye steak, or slow-braised beef short ribs.
With vineyards in the southern Margaux village of Cantenac, this estate has produced a deliciously juicy wine. The structure follows a straight line between the tannins and the intense fruit and acidity. The wine should age well, ready to drink from 2024.
A very suave, polished Margaux that delivers iodine and dark-stone aromas and a wealth of ripe, plush dark fruit that follows through to the palate in attractive, fleshy and juicy mode. Try from 2022.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Prieure-Lichine has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and a bold, intensely scented nose of warm blackcurrants, black raspberries and mulberries with hints of cedar chest, tobacco, dried herbs and iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has bags of class with lovely, vibrant black berries flavors and earthy sparks framed by ripe grainy tannins, finishing long and refreshing.
Wine Spectator
A restrained style, with a beam of cherry, cassis, lilac and sandalwood flavors, revealing a good fleshy feel and solid depth throughout. Light perfume and tobacco hints give the finish some added range. No fireworks here, just balance and focus. Best from 2021 through 2032.
