Critic reviews
"Fleshy and demonstrative, the 2023 Prieuré-Lichine offers up aromas of sweet berries, plums and smoke, framed by creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, with good depth and persistence, it's a strong effort that will offer a broad drinking window in a more modern style."
William Kelley, April 2024, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Prieuré-Lichine has impressive intensity on the nose: blackberry, cedar and violet scents, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, crisp acidity, gentle grip with satisfying length on the finish. A little tight compared to others, so be prepared to wait 3 to 5 years."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Prieuré-Lichine is seriously impressive. Rich and layered in the glass, the 2023 possesses notable textural richness and elegance. Dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather and licorice flesh out over time. This is an especially rich vintage for Prieuré-Lichine, but it's a style that works so well here. The 2023 impresses with its total sense of balance and harmony."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Aromatic and floral, showing cassis and berries with a nice touch of herbs, citrus and graphite. Juicy and integrated, with small-grained, close-knit tannins and a long, well-structured finish. A more vertical expression than many. A blend of 64% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot and 5% petit verdot. Already approachable but will get better with time."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Great stuff, slow and steady build, graphite and slate, precise and just full of joy, 35% new oak for ageing. Love the depth and creamy character the fruit on the first nose - so fun to see how these classified wines really stack up when tasting against the rest. One point upscore. Derenoncourt Consultants, tasted twice."
