Dreaming of Margaux? Don't just think about it—sip it! Sure, Margaux can sometimes come with a hefty price tag, soaring into the three or even four-digit realm. Today, we've got you covered with the 2016 Chateau Prieure-Lichine Confidences de Prieure-Lichine Margaux. This wine is all about the taste, without breaking the bank.
And here's a secret: second wines from top châteaux are like hidden gems, offering the same quality, terroir, and expertise as the “Grand Vins,” but at a much lower price and with instant approachability.
The Confidences is Prieure-Lichine’s second wine, a real knockout. But hey, don’t just take my word for it. Wine Enthusiast loved it too; they said in their 94-point review that “this estate has produced a deliciously juicy wine.” Decanter followed with a 94 score, praising its “good lineup of fruit flavors joined by sweet softness.” James Suckling mentioned, “A very suave, polished Margaux.”
We’re utterly smitten… I mean, 94pt Margaux for LESS than $40???
Just to show you how amazing this deal is, think about some other wines from the 2016 Margaux vintage that got reviewed by the same Wine Enthusiast:
The 2016 Pavillon Rouge from the famous Chateau Margaux got 94 points and costs about $300 per bottle. Then there's the 2016 Chateau Dauzac, which got 92 points and is priced at around $54 per bottle. And 2016 Château Lascombes, which got 93 points and is selling for about $90 per bottle… Get the idea?
And the cherry on top? The man behind it is none other than Stephane Derenoncourt, the mastermind behind renowned estates like Teyssier, Talbot, Smith Haut Lafitte, Inglenook and many more.
The 2016 Château Prieuré-Lichine Confidences de Prieuré-Lichine Margaux comes from a legendary year for Bordeaux. This vintage was awarded 98 points by Vinous Media, who called it “absolutely remarkable wines.” But here's the kicker—there isn't much 2016 left, let alone 2016 Bordeaux from top appellations, boasting stunning quality at these prices.
Our advice? Stock up, get 6 bottles, and enjoy free shipping. Whether you share it with friends and family or drinking solo, this wine promises an unforgettable experience. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
