Le de Prieuré Lichine Bordeaux Blanc – Bordeaux – White – 2023:

 

LE BLANC DE PRIEURE LICHINE is the confidential and elegant dry white expression from Château Prieuré-Lichine, the esteemed 4th Classified Growth of Margaux. Made in very limited volumes, this wine is a masterclass in Bordeaux Blanc, continuing a winemaking tradition that began with the local clergy in the 17th century.

The classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon is meticulously crafted to showcase both vibrant freshness and age-worthy complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright, pale straw colour with a youthful green tinge.
• Nose: Highly expressive, offering notes of tart apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and exotic fruits, all underpinned by a refined minerality.
• Palate: A lively and zesty entry, with the Sauvignon providing a crisp backbone that is beautifully fleshed out by the Sémillon. The wine is balanced, poised, and finishes with a long, satisfying sweep of freshness.

Serving Suggestions

Best served cool (10-12°C). A genuinely versatile wine, it shines brightest when paired with delicate seafood or enjoyed as a sophisticated aperitif.

• Recommended Pairings: Smoked Salmon Blinis with Dill Crème Fraîche, Creamy Shellfish Dishes (Lobster/Prawn), Chicken or Veal in a light cream sauce, Fine Hard Cheeses.
