Chateau Prieure-Lichine, previously Chateau La Prieure and Chateau Prieure-Cantenac, is a winery in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, in the commune of Cantenac. The wine produced here was classified as one of 10 Quatriemes Crus (Fourth Growths) in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The chateau was in the Lichine family for half a century and is now in the safe hands of the Ballande Group. The vineyards are made up of gravelly soils from the River Gironde during the successive glacial floods. This soil is ideal for growing Cabernet Sauvignon as it performs best on gravelly, well drained soils. Merlot and Petit Verdot are also in the mix of grapes grown here.

The region is divided into the Left Bank, for vineyards located on the left bank of the Garonne River, and the Right Bank, for vineyards on the right bank of the Dordogne. Famous Left Bank appellations such as Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estephe and Margaux are well-known for their quality, but value is also found in Haut-Medoc and Moulis. The Right Bank is well known for Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, while the upcoming regions of Lalande-de-Pomerol and Cotes de Bordeaux Castillon should not be overlooked. Close to the city Sauternes and Barsac make some of the world's best sweet wines, while the appellations of Pessac-Leognan and Graves do a fine line in rich reds and full-bodied whites. Red Bordeaux wines are made from a blend of grapes, and the permitted varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and, less commonly, Malbec and Carmenere. Very broadly speaking, Right Bank wines will have a predominance of Merlot, while Left Bank wines will rely on Cabernet Sauvignon as the primary variety in a blend. White wines, both dry and sweet, are made from Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle.

It is the largest appellation within the Haut-Medoc and counts several villages within its boundaries, including Margaux itself. The best vineyards are located on well-drained slopes, and the soils are some of the lightest, most gravelly in the Medoc, which provide the wines with their typical refinement and smooth character. The growing environment is scattered, and many of even the wealthiest chateaux have vineyards dispersed amongst those of their nearest competition. Wine is made to the individual styles of the estates and is less reliant on terroir. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wines are often austere in their youth, but eventually flourish into complex, sophisticated and sensual wines with time and the best Margaux wines can be very long-lived.
View more wines from this sub regionRed Bordeaux wines are most often made from a blend of grapes, officially Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenere. The term is now used across the world to emulate the style of the famous blended wines of Bordeaux, and will be made in the same style in the majority of examples. When very broadly referring to Bordeaux wines, Left Bank wines will have a higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, while Right Bank wines use Merlot as the dominant partner in the blend.
