The 2015 Château Prieuré-Lichine is a distinguished Fourth Growth (4ème Grand Cru Classé) from Margaux, Bordeaux, made from 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The nose is perfumed and concentrated with blackcurrant, dark plum and black cherry, layered with floral notes, liquorice, sweet spice, cedar and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with concentrated black fruit, balanced acidity and firm yet increasingly integrated tannins. The 2015 vintage combines richness and density with classic Margaux elegance, showing plum, cassis, spice and a discreet mineral character through a long, fresh and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Bordeaux drinkers who enjoy concentrated Cabernet fruit, velvety tannins and the perfumed elegance of mature Margaux. Drinking well now, it can continue developing into the late 2030s and early 2040s with careful cellaring. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, duck, beef with mushrooms, venison or mature hard cheeses.
