Prieuré Lichine

The Château Prieuré Lichine produces 3 red wines: the first, « Le Grand Vin de Prieuré Lichine », the second « Confidences de Prieuré Lichine » (made mostly with Merlot) and a third, « Le Clocher du Prieuré », made from a single 2,5 hectare parcel in the Haut Médoc appellation. The Château also produces a white wine, « Le Blanc du château Prieuré Lichine », made in the simple Bordeaux blanc appellation, whose grapes come from a small parcel of 2,2 hectares planted in 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon (non authorized varietals in the Margaux AOC). « Le Grand Vin de Prieuré Lichine » is made in a supple style that is both charming and elegant. The second wine, that has existed since 1972, is aged in barrels of one or two wines, shows character, while being composed of nearly 60% Merlot. It is meant to be consumed younger as is the Haut Médoc « Clocher du Prieuré ». The white can be drunk soon or held onto for a few years as it sees a third of new oak and the vines are now over 20 years old. The overall quality level of this Fourth Growth of Margaux is good, and the reasonable price of its wines should encourage amateurs to buy them, because in a vintage like the 2000, its cellaring potential exceeds 20 years.
