Shimmering nose, very open, with raspberry liqueur. Ideal maturity of the fruit. Irresistibly smooth, with the texture of a great Burgundy. Notes of violet, black fruit and fresh fruit. Unctuous and dazzlingly charming on the palate. Almost impossible to spit out. It finishes on a dimension of freshness and hidden spring. There is a form of opulence in the fruit, but without any sensation of heaviness. Guide Vert RVF: 95/100

Viticulture

Beautifully situated on the southern slope of St-Emilion, adjacent to Pavie, Larcis-Ducasse enjoys a terraced vineyard in its upper part. The vines have an average age of 35 years. Since the 2002 vintage (included), Nicolas Thienpont's team has been managing the estate, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt. Like some other estates on the Côte Sud, Larcis has a cellar that was "avant-garde" a century ago. Indeed, everything here is done by gravity, without pumping.
