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.
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".

Rated 92+/100 by Antonio Galloni « The 2017 Prieuré-Lichine is powerful and dense, with quite a bit more structure and tannic heft than it showed en primeur. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but there is no question the 2017 has developed into a pretty potent Margaux. » (March 2020)
