About the Chateau Prieure-Lichine 2020
Château Prieuré-Lichine 2020 is an exceptionally elegant, deeply textured, and aromatic Left Bank Bordeaux red wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation. This superb vintage showcases classic Margaux refinement, offering an expressive, layered bouquet of dark cherries, blackcurrants, licorice, and cocoa, beautifully accented by notes of fresh lavender, tobacco leaf, and subtle cedarwood. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and seamlessly balanced, highlighting a velvety, mouth-coating core of black fruits backed by fine, chalky, and polished tannins, fresh, integrated acidity, and a long, persistent finish carrying a refreshing, mineral salinity.
Food Pairing: This sophisticated Margaux pairs spectacularly with herb-roasted rack of lamb, classic duck breast with a cherry reduction, or prime rib of beef.
Black cherries, blackcurrants, tobacco, cacao and some licorice on the nose. Firm yet creamy, with very fine tannins that spread across the palate. Medium to full body. So long and beautifully balanced.
This wine already shows a luscious side with its ripe black fruits and rich tannins. The obverse shows structure and acidity. Both these elements will together give a wine for aging. Barrel Sample: 93-95
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Prieure-Lichine offers up notes of fresh redcurrants, blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries and dried Provence herbs, plus wafts of tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of pure black and red fruit flavors, framed by grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a refreshing herbal lift. Barrel Sample: 92-93
Ripe and focused, with a violet and alder frame that marries well to the core of lightly steeped plum and black currant fruit flavors. The alder edge asserts itself on the finish, though the fruit keeps pace just a half-step behind. This should settle in with some cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026.
