Description
The vineyards of Château Prieuré-Lichine, the 4th Cru Classé of Margaux, extend over 77.5 hectares in the heart of the appellation Margaux. Château Prieuré Lichine 2020 is made from a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% of Petit Verdot. The wine was matured for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new and 60% in one year barrels.
Tasting Notes :
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Prieuré-Lichine offers up notes of fresh redcurrants, blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries, and dried Provence herbs, plus wafts of tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of pure black and red fruit flavors, framed by grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a refreshing herbal lift.
