Château LARCIS DUCASSE
1er grand cru classé
- 2015
- Saint-Émilion
Immediate neighbour of Pavia, Larcis-Ducasse was logically promoted to 1st Grand Cru Classé in 2012 due to its full south-facing hillside exposure and the brilliant work of the Thienpont-Derenoncourt tandem.
2015 vintage rated 91/100 by Neal Martin "It has fine density and gentle grip with touches of brown spice and mint towards the finish. It closes in rather "serious" fashion with moderate length". (February 2020)
2015 vintage rated 96/100 by Antonio Galloni "The 2017 Larcis Ducasse is just as compelling from bottle as it was from barrel. Pliant and deep, with terrific fruit purity, Larcis possesses striking fruit purity and tons of resonance. [...] Larcis is never one of the most obvious wines in Saint-Émilion, but it is often among the most regal. Best of all, Larcis remains one of the best values anywhere in the world". (March 2020)
