"Tänzerische elegantie van een Saint-Émilion icoon, gevormd door kalk en zonlicht"
Château Larcis Ducasse 2024 is afkomstig van een van de meest expressieve terroirs van Saint-Émilion: de zuidgerichte Grande Côte, waar de wijngaarden in natuurlijke terrassen liggen op een ondergrond van kalksteen en blauwe klei. Deze unieke ligging zorgt voor een harmonieuze spanning tussen rijpheid en frisheid, zonlicht en diepte.
De jaargang 2024 straalt van elegantie, gelaagdheid en terroirgetrouwheid. In de neus verleiden aroma’s van viooltjes, zwarte kers, specerijen en subtiele florale tonen. Het mondgevoel is verfijnd: fris rood fruit, elegante zuren, krijtige mineraliteit en fijnkorrelige tannines bouwen op naar een opmerkelijk lange, zijdeachtige afdronk.
De internationale wijnpers spreekt in superlatieven:
Yves Beck (98-100) noemt de wijn “krachtig zonder demonstratie – het feit dat dit Larcis Ducasse is, is al genoeg.”
Adrian van Velsen (Vinum) geeft 96-98 punten en roemt de wijn om zijn “tänzerische Eleganz” en een “zeer lange afdronk”, en rekent hem tot het beste van de rechteroever in dit jaar.
Ook Antonio Galloni (Vinous) noemt Larcis Ducasse “misschien wel de meest onderschatte wijn van Saint-Émilion”, terwijl Colin Hay spreekt van een wijn die “het millésime overstijgt”.
Een wijn die niet alleen het terroir, maar ook het vakmanschap van het château bevestigt en naar een nieuw niveau tilt – met grote toekomst voor zich.

An excellent wine from this challenging vintage. It shows good depth and density of fruit with fine, silky tannins, but it’s nevertheless reactive. Juicy and quite polished, with a round core of fruit on the medium-bodied palate before a long, elegant finish. Lovely precision and focus from the filigreed tannins. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc.

Deep garnet-purple colored. After a swirl or two, notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries, and mulberries erupt from the glass, opening out to an array of violets, red roses, and fertile loam scents with a gentle touch of wild sage. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers impressive intensity with ripe, fine-grained tannins and a seamless backbone of freshness, finishing long and fantastically fragrant. Beautiful.

The 2024 Larcis Ducasse is dense, powerful and imposing, almost surprisingly so. All of the wine's intensity is in the mid-palate. Black cherry, plum, mocha, lavender, chocolate and cinnamon meld together in the glass, but it is the wine's mind-blowing balance that stands out most. This is another stellar showing from Larcis Ducasse. There's real potential here. Tasted four times.

Deep, intense nose, dark fruits and lots of concentrated aromas of flowers and bramble berries. Lovely weight and texture straight away, velvety smooth, round and filling with a certain density of blackcurrant and cherry fruit. Creamy, a touch sweet as well as chalky. You can feel the minerality - liquorice, graphite but with flesh and some push. Cool and classic, there’s a definite charm but it’s still got structure and underlying power. Delivered with poise. Great definition with good ageing potential. A yield of 41hl/ha at harvest then after sorting and selection 26hl/ha. 3.55pH.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, aged in a mix of new and once-used barrels along with foudre, the 2024 Château Larcis Ducasse shows ripe black cherries, darker berries, loamy earth, and integrated oak. Medium-bodied, it reveals a round, layered, seamless mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and terrific balance.

Good grip, plenty of character and depth through the palate, freshly cut herbs, blueberry and blackcurrant, savoury with floral character. Harvest 24 September to 7 October. 50% new oak, Gratiot-Atimane family.

Flowers, black raspberries, licorice, and a tiny hint of espresso create the perfume. Medium-bodied, fresh, mineral-driven cherries, red plums, cocoa, and spices provide an upbeat, vibrant, refined wine with a refreshing touch of salty-mints that comes in at the back of the long finish. There is purity, length, and energy in the finish that you easily sense as it lingers. The wine blends 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc. 13.4% ABV. Drink from 2028-2045.

The 2024 Larcis Ducasse was showing well during our tasting, revealing ripe, expressive aromas of violet, dark berries, smoke, pencil lead and subtle oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it is both lively and elegant with a juicy core of fruit and velvety tannins that gently assert themselves on the youthfully chalky finish. The fruit appears perfectly ripe—avoiding the over-ripeness observed in some recent vintages—allowing the wine to convey the character of its limestone terroir. The blend is composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicate black berry fruit, a hint of oak, blackberry confit and cherries. Juicy, elegant and balanced, fruity, silky texture, integrated acidity, remains persistent, has good ageing potential.

Subtle aromatically – red-berry and terroir notes. Smooth and polished on attack. Fruit very much present on the mid palate and tannins that are finely honed. Silky texture. Juicy, fresh and long on the finish. Balanced and harmonious.
