Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux 2019 (375ml)
Product price
Description
Château Prieuré-Lichine is a Margaux estate that makes a classical Bordeaux blend, and the 2019 is a half-bottle of genuine substance. The wine carries the silky, mineral-driven character Margaux is known for, built on well-managed tannins and cool-climate precision rather than extraction or power.
The nose opens with wet stone, graphite, and licorice, then unfolds into layers of red cherry, plum, blackberry, and currant, with rose petal, lavender, and menthol threading through. The palate is creamy and round, with fine, grippy tannins that feel resolved rather than aggressive. Blue fruit and fresh spice dominate the middle, while the wine maintains impressive freshness and intensity despite its generous body. There's polish and sensuality here, a sense of the fruit being wrapped up with real care. Drink it now for its supple charm, or cellar it, the structure is there for aging.

Expert Reviews
The 2019 Prieuré-Lichine is impeccable. Creamy, layered and resonant in the glass, the 2019 hits all the right notes. Sweet red cherry/plum, lavender, rose petal, spice, mint and blood orange all build effortlessly. Over the last handful of years Prieuré-Lichine has been the single most under the radar wine in Margaux. The 2019 is another fine edition. Class, polish and sensuality make Prieuré-Lichine absolutely irresistible.
Minerality on the nose, wet stone, graphite and liquorice. This is tasty, with a creaminess to the fruit that some of the others don't have. It feels round with fine but grippy tannins that see the wine through. It's clearly powerful and concentrated but wrapped up well delivering freshness and intensity. Cool blue fruit flavours and menthol notes dominate. Will be absolutely delicious in time.
The 2019 Prieuré-Lichine is supple and generous, bursting with aromas of blackberries, currants, licorice, spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it's round and enveloping, with ripe acids and a rich, seamless profile. This is showing well out of the gates. This heavily morcellated estate (amounting to some 125 different parcels) is clearly benefitting from a more rigorous selection and better attention to detail regarding harvest dates.
