Saint-Émilion AOC 1er Grand Cru Classé B 2021 Château Larcis Ducasse

Château Larcis Ducasse, the first wine from the estate of the same name which has been active since the 17th century, was elevated to the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion in 2012, a recognition due to the commitment of Nicolas Thienpont, who has led the estate since 2002. conservation and enhancement of the terroir and care of the vineyards are the fundamental principles of this historic estate.

It is the fruit of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes from vines with an average age of 35 years. The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks for 25-28 days. The wine ages for 16-18 months in half new oak barriques.

In the glass it has a ruby red color. On the nose it releases notes of ripe cherry, blueberries and plums which fade into hints of coconut. In the mouth it is a fleshy and opulent wine, with soft and enveloping tannins.

It pairs beautifully with red meats, feathered game and mature cheeses.
