The Château Prieuré-Lichine was established in 1865 by Alexis Lichine and encompasses over 54 hectares of vineyards, located on clay-limestone soils. These vineyard parcels, situated on the left bank of the famous Gironde, are exposed to a very mild climate, with an optimal humidity rate, allowing the grapes to reach remarkable maturity.

The wines are strictly selected and carefully matured, to give them all possible expressions, before a particularly meticulous bottling.
