The fermentation process is closely monitored, with regular punch-downs and pump-overs to enhance the wine’s structure and complexity. Following fermentation, malolactic fermentation occurs in the vats, softening the wine’s acidity and contributing to a rounder mouthfeel. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with approximately 50% being new oak, for a period ranging from 12 to 15 months.

Situated near the Ciron and Garonne rivers, the estate benefits from a unique microclimate conducive to the development of Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. This fungus is essential for producing the concentrated, sweet grapes characteristic of Sauternes wines. The gravelly, sandy soils of the vineyards provide excellent drainage, encouraging deep root systems and contributing to the complexity of the wines.

In 2001, this process was particularly rigorous, ensuring only the finest botrytized grapes were chosen. The grapes were gently pressed to extract the rich, concentrated must, which was then fermented in French oak barrels, with about 50% being new oak. This fermentation process was carefully monitored to preserve the delicate balance of sweetness and acidity. Following fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees in the same barrels for up to 24 months, allowing it to develop complexity and integrate the oak influences harmoniously.

In 1969, Jean Gautreau purchased the then-neglected estate and undertook extensive renovations, revitalizing the vineyards and modernizing the winemaking facilities.

These well-draining soils are ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, allowing the vines to develop deep root systems and access essential nutrients. The proximity to the Gironde estuary provides a moderating influence on the climate, reducing temperature extremes and promoting a long, even ripening period. The 2003 growing season was notably hot, with a significant heatwave in August leading to accelerated ripening and early harvests.

A relatively mild period from April to June allowed for flowering at the end of May, despite several storms during this time creating unprecedented mildew pressure. Fortunately, the Pichon Comtesse vineyard experienced minimal coulure and was spared from hail damage. A hot and dry spell from mid-July resulted in uniform veraison, beginning on July 28th for the Merlot and concluding on August 14th for the Cabernet and Petit Verdot.

These well-draining soils are ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The proximity to the Gironde estuary provides a moderating influence on the climate, reducing temperature extremes and promoting a long, even ripening period. The 2017 growing season began with an early bud break at the end of March, followed by a very dry April. A period of heavy frost occurred, but the early ripening vineyards of Pauillac and St. Estèphe, close to the estuary, were largely spared. A dry and mostly hot spring encouraged early flowering at the end of May under healthy conditions. Veraison started at the end of July, and some summer showers prevented water stress, aiding the ripening process. The harvest began on September 7th, was interrupted by rain between the picking of the Merlot and the Cabernet, but subsequent weather improvements allowed the Cabernet to ripen fully until early October.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 2017 Réserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe grapes for the 2017 vintage were hand-harvested and underwent meticulous sorting to ensure only the highest quality fruit was utilized.

This diverse terroir includes well-drained gravel soils, which are ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The proximity to the Gironde estuary provides a moderating influence on the climate, reducing temperature extremes and promoting a long, even ripening period. This microclimate contributes to the development of complex aromatics and the elegant structure characteristic of Prieuré-Lichine wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 2013 Château Prieuré-Lichine is a blend of classic Bordeaux varietals, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 2013 vintage underwent traditional vinification processes.

The soil composition is predominantly Quaternary gravel, which offers excellent drainage and heat retention, fostering optimal ripening conditions for the vines. The vineyards are densely planted at 10,000 vines per hectare, promoting competition among vines and resulting in lower yields of high-quality fruit. The microclimate benefits from the moderating influence of the nearby Gironde estuary, which helps to temper temperature extremes and reduce the risk of frost.
