The Château Prieuré-Lichine 2019 is a distinguished red wine from one of Bordeaux's most illustrious appellations: Margaux. This vintage, with its blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller proportions of Petit Verdot, beautifully encapsulates the elegance and power that Margaux wines are celebrated for. The terroir of Margaux, centred within the Médoc region, is characterised by its deep gravel soils, which provide excellent drainage and impart a palpable minerally edge to the wines. Although specific vinification details aren't given, it's typical for such estates to employ meticulous vineyard management and a combination of traditional and modern techniques to ensure optimal expression of their grapes.
The Margaux appellation, part of the greater Bordeaux region, enjoys a temperate maritime climate, moderated by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. This climate ensures a long growing season that helps achieve perfect ripeness and balance of the grape varieties. The storied history of Bordeaux vineyards, particularly in Margaux, stretches back centuries, and the tradition, skill, and innovation ingrained in this area result in wines of exceptional finesse and complexity.
For pairing, Château Prieuré-Lichine 2019's robust body and nuanced profile pair excellently with refined dishes. Consider a classic beef fillet Rossini or a braised lamb shank with rosemary herbs. Alternatively, dishes with a rich mushroom sauce or duck à l’orange can also complement its deep fruit flavours and subtle spice notes.
To fully appreciate the complexity and depth of this Margaux, it should be served at an ideal temperature of 16-18°C. This will allow the wine to open up its aromas and flavours fully, offering notes of blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and a hint of graphite. Allowing the wine some time to breathe before serving will further enhance its multi-layered character.
