When to Drink Chateau Prieure Lichine, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Prieure Lichine can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting, but the wine is much better these days. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1-3 hours, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Chateau Prieure Lichine is usually better with at least 7-10 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Chateau Prieure Lichine offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-25 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Prieure Lichine, with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau Prieure Lichine is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau

Prieure Lichine is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Prieure Lichine is a perfect match with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta as well as cheese.

Chateau Prieure Lichine White Wine

Like a few other estates in the Medoc, Chateau Prieure Lichine also makes a small amount of dry, white Bordeaux wine that is sold under the name of Le Blanc de Prieure Lichine. The wine made its debut in 1990.

The wine is produced from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The grapes come from a diminutive 1.5-hectare parcel of vines in the commune of Arsac. The white wine of Prieure Lichine is sold as a generic AOC Bordeaux Blanc.

The estate also owns vines in the Haut-Medoc appellation where they produce Le Clocher du Prieure.
