Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (134), April 2001

New owners and a new wine-maker, Stéphane Derenoncourt (of La Mondotte fame). This is the best recent vintage we have tasted from this property. Very good richness, a solid centre of ripe fruit. Complex and complete. This is the finest Prieuré Lichine produced in many a year There are no holes or dilution to be found in this charming, elegant, complex 1999.
