    ABV:
    13%
    93/100
    Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
    Inky plum depths to the colours here are vivid and inviting, and on the palate you get plenty of character and spice. Things are high volume and intense, with ripe blackberry and loganberry fruit, autumnal but still with plenty of juice and texture. Good quality. 32hl/h yield.

    The 2022 Prieure-Lichine is deep garnet-purple in color. It tumbles out with eager-to-please scents of juicy blackcurrant, Morello cherries, and black raspberries, followed by hints of cedar, violets, and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely packed with juicy black fruit and floral accents, supported by beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and fragrant. This is a very impressive showing for Prieure-Lichine.

    Neal Martin, Vinous
    The 2022 Prieuré-Lichine has a lively nose with blackberry, raspberry and violet scents that unfurl in the glass. Slightly high-toned and showy. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, powdery in texture, graphite-infused black fruit with a classically-styled finish. Perhaps it needs just a little more length on the aftertaste, but this should still provide a couple of decade's drinking pleasure.

    Château Prieuré Lichine

    Chateau Prieuré-Lichine consists of about 70 hectares planted with 50 % Cabernet-Sauvignon, 45 % Merlot and 5 % Petit Verdot. This relatively high proportion of Merlot is accounted for by the fact that the Margaux appellation is located within a part of the Médoc peninsular where soils have more clay and less deep gravel, and are better suited to the balance of this varietal. Consultant and winemaker, Stéphane Derenoncourt uses vine canopies to enhance grape ripening as well as regular monitoring of the vines which is an environmentally-friendly viticultural approach. After fermenting in concrete and stainless steel vats, the wine is aged for up to 16 months in 50 percent new oak barrels.
