Critics scores
85 Robert Parker
The 1999 Prieure-Lichine reveals notes of red currants, earth, dried herbs, and oak in a medium-bodied format. This is a light, soft, pretty but unsubstantial effort. It is best consumed over the next 7-8 years.
82 Wine Spectator
Aromas of coffee and spices, with hints of fruit. Medium- to light-bodied, with fine tannins and a slightly diluted aftertaste. Best after 2002. 16,665 cases made. –JS .
Producer
Château Prieuré-Lichine
One of the most unique Médoc properties, Château Prieuré-Lichine owns over 40 separate parcels of vines fragmented across the Margaux appellation. Ending almost half of a century of Lichine family ownership, the château was purchased by the Ballande family, owners of the successful Bordeaux négociant, Ballande Group in 1999. What started as a priory for Benedictine monks in the 12th century, today, the 77-hectare estate has just over 70-hectares under vine. Managed by Justin Onclin, the scattered plots are planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the remaining 5% Petit Verdot. The 4ème Grand Cru Classé estate produces several reds, as well as a smaller production dry white under the leadership of consulting oenologist, Stéphane Derenoncourt. Driven by passion, the young ambitious team at Château Prieuré-Lichine produces an aromatic, but structured blend with a greater Merlot content, the Prieuré-Lichine red effortlessly displays the depth of their varied terroir.
