Vinous

The 2024 Prieuré-Lichine is an attractive wine, but it does show the lighter side of the year, accented by the fact that Prieuré-Lichine is never a big wine. Dark red/black fruit, mocha, licorice and spice all meld together in the glass, with good mid-palate pliancy and promising balance. Tasted two times. 04/2025

Vinous

The 2024 Prieuré-Lichine offers violet-infused black fruit on the nose. It is simple and lacks a bit of bandwidth but remains clean. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, a bit hard on the mid-palate, with a peppery finish. This is just missing a bit of elegance and complexity, but it should provide 10 to 12 years of drinking pleasure. 04/2025

Based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot, brought up in 35% new oak and the balance in once-used barrels, the 2024 Château Prieure-Lichine reveals ripe black cherries, graphite, spicy wood, and tobacco notes. Medium-bodied and focused on the palate, it has an elegant mouthfeel, ripe, present tannins, and solid depth. 05/2025

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité mûr, accompagné d'une jolie touche de chêne. Délicat en entrée de bouche, parfumé au milieu, le vin fond sur le palais. Il offre une construction nouvelle et bien plus équilibrée que parfois. Finale margalienne, aromatique, séveuse et sans acidité. C'est très bon. Assemblage : 65 % cabernet sauvignon, 29 % merlot, 6 % petit verdot. Degré d'alcool : 13°. 04/2025

Fresh and nicely herbal on the nose, showing dark cherries, violets and some currants. Crunchy and tight-grained with medium body and a linear finish. Tannins are chewy but not overpowering. 04/2025
