Tasting notes
The deep ruby 2010 Prieure-Lichine offers up notes of lifted blackberry, cherry and blackcurrant fruit, supported on the palate by a very pure berry fruit expression with a gentle graceful edge. This wine is very Margaux, very classy with good length and clearly made with a light touch, something to be appreciated in a vintage where many people either over-extracted the tannins or didnt choose the ideal harvest date. asianpalate.com

Prieure-Lichine From a blend of 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the perfume offers aromas of cassis, earth, flowers and spice. Full bodied with soft tannins, the rich cassis, feminine wine ends with an elegant finish. winecellarinsider.com
Wow. This shows a wonderful core of intense, ripe fruit and velvety tannins. Loads of berry, chocolate and toasted oak. A joy to taste young. jamessuckling.com
Fine, exuberant yet elegant Margaux fruit, very attractive and always one of the most attractive, typical wines of the appellation. Drink 2016-28. Steven Spurrier, decanter.com
About the producer

After 50 years under the direction of the Lichine family, this leading Margaux estate entered a new chapter in 1999 when négociant Ballande took the reins, continuing the property’s previous upward trajectory.
