Description

Larcis Ducasse is an 11-hectare château in the Saint Emilion Grand Cru appellation. It is classified as a premier grand cru classé and has belonged to the Raba family since 1893. Nicolas Thienpont currently runs the estate. Merlot is king here, complemented by Cabernet Franc, which benefits from a fully south-facing exposure. The vineyard features 60-metre-high terraces with a soil of white clay, ensuring good drainage for the vines. The wines are the result of careful work in the vineyard, including pruning, bending and tying of canes to wires, debudding, wire raising and trimming. In the winery, separate wines are made from each plot to allow the diversity of the terroirs to show through.

Vintage 2024 blend: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

iDealwine En Primeur Tasting Note:A wine with a discreet, yet accessible nose, characterized by a bouquet of red fruit and cigar. The palate is juicy, elegant, balanced and greedy, without lacking structure. The texture is mellow, delicately mineral, with well-presented tannins. A salivating finish, without any austerity. The whole is delicate and elegant. A real favorite. ”

Le Figaro Vin : “Fine and silky, tender and meditative, the nose tells of a stroll down a flowery lane at dusk, with notes of velvety rose petals, fresh fruit and vine peach. Just as tender on the palate, refined and juicy, the texture is seductive and caressing, with notes of perfectly ripe red fruit. A delight. “
