This is really something for the Prieure. The aromas are vivid and bright and so, so perfumed. Violets, other flowers and citrus blossoms too. Medium- to full-bodied with ultrafine polished tannins that go on and on. Cashmere texture. Long and seductive. Best after 2029.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Margaux

The Margaux appellation of France's legendary Bordeaux wine region is one of the world's most famous and highly respected viticultural areas. For centuries, Margaux has been deeply associated with extremely fine wines of the highest quality, made using traditional and time-honored techniques in order to extract the very best, most refined and elegant flavors and aromas from the Bordeaux varietal grapes which grow there. Margaux wines are almost always blended, using two or three key Bordeaux grapes, commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (amongst others). The blending techniques and quantities have been passed down through the generations in the ancestral chateaus which make up the region, and quality and prestige has never been allowed to falter, making Margaux one of the undisputed jewels in France's already glittering crown.

Decanter

Tobacco, dark chocolate, blackcurrants, plums, and rose petals on the nose, with sandalwood and cinnamon adding complexity. Dark, brooding flavors with toasted elements alongside dark fruits. Less vibrant but deeply finessed. Integrated tannins, acidity lifting the finish. Spice and toast linger, ending with a liquorice note. Needs a few years to fully open.

The Wine Independent

This 2022 has a blend led by 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. A rather sweet, smoky and brooding character on the nose, with blackcurrant, blackberry, toasted liquorice, tar and mint. The palate follows on from this dark and somewhat brooding nose with a polished and finely integrated style, with powdery and dark substance, a fine grip of rich tannins, and toasted blackberry and olive fruits. There is quite a bit of spirity oak lactone here, but this will integrate given time, and it does not detract from the cohesive structure and wealth of dark fruits. A very impressive Margaux, the structure and holding up well throughout, even into the finish and length, where the tannins linger long. A smart 2022 from Prieuré-Lichine, an estate that deserves a greater following. Put this one in your cellar. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 13.5%.

Plums, sappy flowers, violets, and spicy oak notes all define the 2022 Château Prieuré-Lichine, a ripe, concentrated, medium to full-bodied Margaux. It has solid mid-palate depth, plenty of background oak, and a great finish. While this ripe, textured, wonderfully layered Margaux offers pleasure today, it should have no issues evolving gracefully over the coming 15-20 years. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, aged 14 months in barrel.

Wine Advocate

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Prieuré-Lichine reveals a spicy bouquet of dark berries, licorice, spices and oak aromas. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it has a fleshy core of fruit, powdery, youthful tannins and a long, slightly austere finish.

Wine Spectator

Dark cherry and blackberry fruit shows a steeped edge, while bramble, warm earth and roasted cedar notes fill in through the ever-so-slightly grainy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2032. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 15,000 cases made.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Prieuré-Lichine has a Margaux nose moulded by the warm growing season, exotic and plush, Medjool dates intermixed with black cherries and cassis fruit. A bit heady. The palate is ripe and a little New World in style, plush black plum laced with graphite, rich and heady but just a little overdone and brash towards the finish. Perhaps it will calm down with time? Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
