Château Prieuré-Lichine
A fourth growth of 1855 in the Margaux appellation, in the commune of Cantenac, this growth was classified as Prieuré and owes the second half of its name to Alexis Lichine, the American writer and merchant who bought it in 1951 and added his surname. Its vineyard is one of the appellation's most scattered, spread over all five communes.
