The Château Larcis-Ducasse Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé, from the fantastic 2020 vintage for the judge, has a beautiful garnet-red color. The wine has an intensely soft nose, with a beautiful hint of Cabernet Franc alongside the softness and elegance of the ripe Merlot. The stylish, ripe tannins leave a beautifully harmonious finish. The nose reveals aromas of red cherry compote, raspberry preserves, and blackberry tart, plus hints of cigar box, Ceylon tea, dried lavender, and forest floor. The wine is medium to full-bodied and has beautiful red and black fruit notes on the palate with a wonderfully soft texture and a very long, perfumed finish. A beautifully concentrated wine with a feminine style. It's no wonder it has always been a favorite of JP Moueix, aka "the nose."
The total area of the Larcis-Ducasse vineyard is 11.15 hectares, of which 9.80 hectares are in use. The planting density is 6,000 vines/ha, which will be increased to 8,888 after replanting. It is a common belief that higher planting density is intended to increase production, but this is not the case. Due to the high planting density, the yield per plant is significantly lower, and competition forces the vines to develop deeper roots. This primarily benefits quality, not quantity. This Larcis-Ducasse is a Merlot-driven Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé (approx. 88%), supplemented with Cabernet Franc. The wine ages for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 55% new and 45% first-year.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2020 Château Larcis-Ducasse toont een geconcentreerd smaakpalet van rijpe rode kersen en pruimen, met bloemige tonen van rozen, kruidige licorice- en theehints, zachte, rijpe tannines en een lange, geparfumeerde afdronk. Dankzij de volle fruitconcentratie, verfijnde tanninestructuur en kruidige ondertoon vormt hij een perfecte metgezel bij rundvlees, lamsgerechten, wild en gerijpte kazen, omdat het fruit de vetten en umami aanvult terwijl de tannines structuur geven aan de smaakopbouw. Kies voor krachtige maar elegante bereidingen zoals een rosé gebraden carré d’agneau, een in de pan geschroeid côte de boeuf met rozemarijn en geroosterde wortelgroenten, langzaam gegaard hert of eend en een plank met oude harde kazen of een licht pikante blauwader voor maximaal genot. |

The 2020 Larcis Ducasse has a deep purple-black color, leaping from the glass with bold notions of redcurrant jelly, plum preserves, kirsch and red roses, followed by hints of licorice, fragrant earth and spice cake, with a touch of woodsmoke. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with fragrant red berries and profound black fruit preserves, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and lovely tension, finishing very long and fantastically layered. Absolutely, stunningly singular.

Château Larcis-Ducasse is located in the historic area of the Plateau and the Grande Côte where the majority of Saint-Emilion's Premiers Grand Cru wines are located. The vineyards of Château Larcis-Ducasse enjoy a terroir with exceptional natural qualities. The grouped plots of 11 hectares in total are located on the west side of Château Pavie and north of Castle Troplong Mondot. Larcis-Ducasse has the top of the famous Pavie hill (Côte Pavie) and has a beautiful position, fully south facing with a view of the Dordogne valley. A very favorable position for perfect ripening of the grapes, because the climatic extremes are tempered. Sheltered from the north wind and protected by the river, the valuable vines are not exposed to frost or heat waves. The grapes are given the opportunity to fully ripen while their freshness and fruit are fully preserved thanks to the interaction of warm summer days with cool nights under the influence of the Dordogne river.
The Château Larcis Ducasse vineyards are planted with approximately 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc at a density of 6000 vines per hectare with an average age of 35 years.
