When the sole objective is to produce great wine, the quality of the terroir and a perfect match between the grape variety and soils are prerequisites for success. However, winemakers know that this is not all… You also need to know how to cultivate the vines!

This is why every effort is made at Larcis Ducasse to enhance the qualities of this exceptional yet truly demanding terroir, combining traditional methods with innovative techniques, where these meet the primary objective of quality and the ever-increasing environmental challenge.

This 10 hectare property is situated close to Pavie on the best south-facing slope in Saint Emilion.

2017 Assemblage - 92% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc.

"Deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2017 Larcis Ducasse (a blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc) has a very enticing nose of kirsch, warm blackberries, baked plums and wild blueberries with hints of pencil lead, tar, tilled soil and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly knit with great poise and subtlety, offering bright, energetic fruit and loads of minerally sparks, finishing with great length. Drink 2021 - 2039"
