Château Prieuré-Lichine is ranked as a 4th Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Château Prieuré-Lichine's history started in a most unique manner: initially it was a priory for Benedictine monks. In 1951, Alexis Lichine purchased the estate and revamped and expanded the vineyards and cellar, eventually growing to 58 hectares of vines spread out over all of the Margaux appellation. In 1989, Alexis died and passed the estate on to his son, Sacha. Today, the Château is owned by the Ballande group, who have added more vineyards and updated the winery to allow for vinification on a parcel-by-parcel basis.

Confidences de Prieuré-Lichine is the estate's second label, combining the fresh and fruitiness of a second wine with the same careful dedication that is paid to the Grand Vin. Dark ruby to the rim, Confidences offers a brooding bouquet of black fruits tinged with spice. Soft on the attack, this Margaux presents rich flavors of cassis, plum and blackberry preserves marked with a touch of oak spice. The wine displays a wonderful combination of structure and elegance with lively acidity and finely-textured tannins leading to a long, bright finish. A excellent pairing for grilled or roasted red meats or game birds.
