Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux 2009 (1.5L Magnum)

Library Selection: Direct From the Cellar in Bordeaux

94 Points, James Suckling – 93 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate

“The soft, sexy 2009 exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of raspberries, black cherries, black currants, smoke and forest floor. Opulent and round with an attractive viscosity as well as outstanding purity, depth and length, it should drink well for two decades. While not one of the longest lived wines of the vintage, it is among the most precocious, flattering and charming at present. Prieure-Lichine’s beautiful, seductive 2009 is one of the finest efforts yet made at this property that was rejuvenated under the late Alexis Lichine. Quality began improving dramatically about fifteen years ago and with the hiring of wine consultant Stephane Derenoncourt things have improved even further.”

Blueberries, minerals, flowers and sandalwood on the nose. Full body, with chewy tannins and fresh fruit and citrus aftertaste. Beautiful polish to the wine. Best in 2018.

Château Prieuré-Lichine is a super highly-regarded wine estate located in the prestigious Margaux appellation. It’s one of the classified growths (Fifth Growth) in the region, though along with Pontet-Canet and Grand Puy-Lacoste, it’s considered one of the very best fifth growths and one that’s been making some of the best value in premium Bordeaux for years.

The estate has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. It was owned by the Lichine family for many years and has been under the ownership of the Delon family since 2010. Dating back to the early 2000s, much of the estate’s success can be attributed to the leadership of one of the world’s best winemakers: Stéphane Derenoncourt. His expertise and guidance have contributed significantly to the quality and consistency of the wines produced by this incredible Margaux estate.
