Tasting Notes
A classic Margaux estate with deep historical roots, Château Prieuré-Lichine embodies the signature style of the appellation: grace, finesse, and aromatic depth. Long associated with the legendary Alexis Lichine, the estate has flourished under the stewardship of the Ballande family, combining tradition with modern ambition.
The 2024 vintage stands as a testament to the estate’s resilience. After enduring one of the wettest growing seasons in recent memory, the team’s perseverance and precision work in the vineyard paid off. The resulting wine captures the purity of fruit and poise that define Margaux at its best.
On the palate, it offers a supple, layered texture, with vibrant acidity lifting ripe fruit and silky tannins. Structured yet soft, it leaves a lasting impression of harmony and elegance—hallmarks of both the estate and the vintage.

94 / 100"Flowers, licorice, smoke, black, with red currants, and plums come through in the aromatics. The medium-palate is soft, round, and subtle, with elegant, ripe, black cherries displaying an almost creamy edge to the texture which carries through to the fresh finish. The wine blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2028-2042. - Jeff Leve"

"Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicate notes of ripe plums, a hint of nougat and plums, candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant, ripe cherries, fresh acidity, a hint of chocolate on the finish, good length, definite ageing potential. - Peter Moser"

"Château Prieuré-Lichine is a subtly complex Margaux that captivates not with overpowering aromas but through its refined, chalky texture. The 2023 vintage exemplifies this approach very well. It maintains clear aromas and a soft palate while displaying impressive concentration. Its delicate tannins and a slightly salty finish lend an exquisite elegance, creating a serene, white canvas across the taste buds. (Winemaker Etienne noted that the extraction process was quite gentle in 2023, spanning only 21-24 days.) - Alexandre Ma"
