Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Larcis Ducasse sashays gracefully out of the glass with beautiful Black Forest cake, red cherry compote, raspberry preserves and blackberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box, Ceylon tea, dried lavender and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers gorgeous red and black fruit preserves flavors with a wonderfully plush texture and very long, perfumed finish.
- Vinous: The 2016 Larcis Ducasse is absolutely gorgeous. Fresh, vibrant and alluring, with tremendous vibrancy, the 2016 has so much to offer. Expressive savory and blood orange notes add brightness to the red cherry and plum fruit, with beams of firm yet well-integrated tannins that give the wine its shape and energy. In 2016, Larcis brings together undeniable raciness and power in a complete package that is irresistibly beautiful. Give it a few years in bottle for the tannins to soften.
Producer Information
Château Larcis-Ducasse is a Premier Grand Cru Classe B wine producer based in the Bordeaux appellation of Saint-Ămilion. The château and surrounding land are located on the CĂ´te Pavie, where the site lies adjacent to the esteemed Château Pavie. Like Pavie, Larcis-Ducasse produces a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend. It dates to the 16th Century, and it has been owned by the Gratiot AlphandĂŠry family since the 1940s. The estate spans around 11 hectares (27 acres), primarily planted to Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. The low-yielding vines are on average 35 years old and are planted on a range of different soil types, from alluvial sand deposits to limestone, clay, and chalk. A south-faceing aspect maximises sunshine exposure into the canopy allowing grapes to ripen to thier full phenolic potential. At harvest, grapes are handpicked in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks prior to malolactic fermentation in oak barrel. It is then barrel-aged for almost two years in French oak, two thirds of which is new. Movement of juice and wine in the cellar is powered by gravity to prevent excess oxidation. Larcis-Ducasse was one of the first in the region to have a gravity cellar, established in 1898. The château's second wine is called Murmure de Larcis Ducasse.
