Château PRIEURÉ-LICHINE
4ème grand cru classé
- 2010
- Margaux
The arrival of Mr. Derenoncourt as a consultant in 2002 relaunched Prieuré-Lichine, giving it first of all a better aromatic dimension thanks to a more mature grape. The limitation of yields since 2009 has resulted in additional density and volume, which he lacked to compete with his peers. Progress hailed by the Revue du Vin de France, notably for its 2020, rated 95/100 « the most complete in a long time ».
The 2010 was rated 92/100 by Wine Advocate.
Re-tasted 10 years later by the Revue du Vin de France, it is rated 16/20 "greedy, fluid and pleasant [...] A pretty margaux ready to drink".

Le millésime 2020 est noté 95/100 par La Revue du Vin de France : « Le cru est en forme et a retrouvé tout son éclat. Ce 2020 est vraiment séduisant, avec une matière très soyeuse, du raffinement, mais aussi du volume en bouche et de la longueur. Le plus complet depuis longtemps. »
