Château Prieuré-Lichine, 4th Grand Cru Classé in 1855, presents all the characteristics of the superb Margaux appellation, located on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region. Château du Prieuré de Cantenac became Château Prieuré-Lichine when it was bought by the charismatic Alexis Lichine, the "Pope of Wine" in 1951. After his death in 1989, his son Sacha took over the reins of the estate until 1999, when the property became part of the Ballande group. The philosophy of Château Prieuré-Lichine is focused on excellence in the production of great wines that reveal the full expression and diversity of the great terroirs of the Margaux appellation.
