About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceStyled by expet wine consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, Chateau Prieure-Lichine is a producer of substantial size sourcing across a fractured series of some 40-odd plots of vines throughout Margaux. Alexis Lichine and son Sacha have sought to increase the profile of the estate through studious work in winery and vineyard, now seeing the fruit of their labour in wines such as the 2010 release which offers potency in fruit, but a complex wine of early maturity but also further potential to mellow and age.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Dense purple, with loads of blueberry and blackberry fruit as well as hints of smoke and subtle charred wood, this wine is expansive, round, generous, lush and multi-dimensional. This beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years. A beautiful example of wine from this estate, which is using well-known consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, finished 2010 at 14.5% natural alcohol, and seems to be one of the sexier, more developed and evolved styles of the vintage.
