The aromas are subtle and complete, with a lovely combination of ripe berries, wet earth and sea salt. Medium-bodied with a dense palate that becomes bright, vivid, crunchy and spicy, with a fresh pear undertone to the subtle plum aftertaste. Extremely complex. 86% merlot and 14% cabernet franc. So drinkable now, but better after 2028.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2023 Larcis Ducasse is one of the most delicate, elegant wines in Saint-Émilion. Silky contours frame a core of dark red/purplish fruit, cloves, new leather, menthol and lavender. As always, Larcis Ducasse is all about finesse and reserve. It remains one of the most under-the-radar wines in all of Bordeaux. Readers with classically leaning palates will adore it. Tasted three times.

A blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc aged in a mix of barrels, 500-liter, and foudre (roughly 60% new oak), the 2023 Château Larcis Ducasse sports a deep purple hue as well as a great nose of ripe red and black fruits, smoky tobacco, chocolaty herbs, and graphite. This carries to a medium to full-bodied palate that has a round, layered, concentrated mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It's one of the richer, more textured, sexy, opulent wines in the vintage while still staying in the charming, pure, layered style of 2023. It will keep for 30 years or more in a cold cellar but will be shining with just 4-5 years of bottle age. Drink 2029-2055.

A blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Larcis Ducasse fully matches expectations formed at the en primeur tastings. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of dark berries, fresh licorice, gentian, smoke and flowers, discreetly accented by oak, it is medium- to full-bodied, suave and velvety, built around a fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a delicately saline finish.

92-94 2023 Larcis Ducasse has a fresh and open knit nose with notes of sweet caramel. The creamy caramel notes carry on into the taste where they mingle with fresh raspberry-like cassis and a pleasant freshness and purity. The aftertaste has considerable tannins and you would be well advices to save this wine 4-5 years before trying a bottle.

Wine Spectator

Shows subtle juiciness that runs through from start to finish, giving the pretty mix of gently mulled plum and raspberry fruit good energy through the alder- and iris-tinged finish. Shows a late tug of chalky minerality. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2036.
