Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Up with top wines of the vintage, the 2021 Château Larcis Ducasse is a beautiful Saint-Emilion based on 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, with the Merlot harvested between September 29 and October 9, and the Cabernet from October 9 to October 11. From yields of 34 hectoliters per hectare and aged in 50% new barrels, its solid ruby/plum hue is followed by a beautiful nose of ripe red and black fruits, iron, dried tobacco, leather, and truffly earth. Medium to full-bodied (closer to medium-bodied), it has terrific mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and a balanced, layered, elegant mouthfeel. As with most 2021s, it only needs a few years of bottle age and will have two decades of overall longevity.

About the Producer

Château Larcis-Ducasse, a Premier Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, is a historic estate with roots dating back to the 16th century. Its privileged location on sun-drenched clay-limestone slopes offers a remarkable terroir, particularly favorable to Merlot, the iconic grape variety of the Libourne region. After belonging to the Gratiot Alphandéry family, this estate is now in the expert hands of Nicolas Thienpont, who continues to elevate the quality of its wines. It is said that the name "Larcis" may originate from a family of the same name that owned the site during the Middle Ages. The red wines of Larcis-Ducasse are distinguished by their fullness, aromatic richness, and rare elegance—an authentic expression of the Saint-Émilion terroir. Le Murmure de Larcis-Ducasse offers another interpretation of this unique terroir. Larcis-Ducasse brilliantly embodies the excellence and refinement of the great wines of Saint-Émilion, providing an unforgettable tasting experience. A wine that is an absolute must-discover for lovers of great crus. Among the most sought-after labels are Château Larcis-Ducasse, Le Murmure de Larcis-Ducasse, and Le Rosé de Larcis-Ducasse, all of which serve as useful benchmarks for understanding the estate's identity.
