Description: Château Prieuré-Lichine is a Fourth Growth Bordeaux from the Margaux appellation, known for its elegance, aromatic complexity, and balanced structure. The wine is a classic Left Bank blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot, grown on well-drained gravel soils that lend freshness and refinement. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with violet highlights and a complex nose of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and black cherry, complemented by floral notes, subtle spice, and gentle hints of oak. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and concentrated dark fruit flavors, finishing long and harmonious with subtle layers of spice, cocoa, and roasted nuances.
