Confidences de Prieuré-Lichine is the second wine of Château Prieuré-Lichine, a 4th Growth estate classified in 1855 and located in the heart of Margaux. Made primarily from younger vines of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it is vinified with the same care as the Grand Vin but in a style meant to be approachable earlier. The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is one of the great modern vintages, known for balance, freshness, and age worthy structure. This second wine offers a true taste of classified Margaux at a far more accessible price than the Grand Vin. From the outstanding 2016 vintage, it delivers both immediate drinking pleasure and the pedigree to age gracefully for a decade or more. It’s a perfect entry point into the elegance of Margaux without the collector’s price tag. Ripe blackberry, cassis, and plum with notes of violet, cedar, and graphite. Medium-bodied with polished tannins, bright acidity, and a refined, silky finish that reflects its Margaux terroir. Pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, or mushroom dishes. 2016 - 91pts James Suckling
