Tax included
A complex and velvety St.-Emilion with aromas of red and black fruits, as well as spicy and fragrant notes, exceptional for the vintage.
Winemaker and Vineyard: Located near the village of St-Emilion, Larcis Ducasse features a vineyard that stretches across gentle and steep slopes. The 11.3 hectares of vines enjoy a due south exposure and house Mediterranean essences like fig trees and laurels. The small terraced parcels, bathed in sunlight and framed by stone, draw their energy from the soil as much as from the sky.
Tasting: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Larcis Ducasse sashays gracefully out of the glass with beautiful Black Forest cake, red cherry compote, raspberry preserves and blackberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box, Ceylon tea, dried lavender and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers gorgeous red and black fruit preserves flavors with a wonderfully plush texture and very long, perfumed finish. (robertparker.com, 30.11.2018)
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a Provençal octopus dish.
