We loved 2015 Château Prieuré Lichine when we first offered it en primeur, so we were delighted to be able to source a parcel of it ten years on from the vintage, direct from the château and stored in perfect conditions. Our shipment has now landed and we have limited unallocated stock available to offer to you at £180 per six in bond, available for pre-Christmas delivery.
Specialising in en primeur since the business began in 1969 means we have excellent relationships with the châteaux and negociants, giving us access to parcels like this one, which we offer at well below the market price. With 96 points from Anson and Galloni, this is a bargain at £30 per bottle in bond. At en primeur, Decanter Magazine ranked it #7 in their top wines of the vintage, just one place behind its Margaux neighbour, Château Palmer.

Tasting Notes"The 2015 Prieuré-Lichine has really come together over the last two years. Sumptuous, bold and racy, with no hard edges or angular contours, the 2015 is all class. The purity of the flavors is striking. Bright floral and spice notes perk up the red stone fruit nicely in this sensual, silky Margaux. All the elements simply fall into place. This is the first vintage Stéphane Derenoncourt and his team made in the new cellar. In 2015 Prieuré-Lichine, is a total knock-out. Don't miss it. 95 points." Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec '17------"One of the best vintages I have tried from Prieuré Lichine - this was excellent during en primeur and even more so now it's in bottle. Restrained elegance and precision are on display, balancing out the oozing rich damson fruit and the well placed licorice edging. Well balanced, the fruit is cleanly cut and held, the ripe black fruits spliced in two. Poised, with good ripeness, a standout for me. 50% new oak barrels. Stephen Derenencourt consults. Drinking window 2015-2042. 96 points" Jane Anson, Decanter.com------"Some very ripe dark-plum aromas with a wealth of sweet spices and earthy notes. The palate has an impressively rich, suave and smooth core of black fruit with a powerful palate that delivers concentrated and intense structure. This is superb Margaux. Try from 2022. 96 points."
