critic reviews

97/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2019 Larcis Ducasse, a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of redcurrant jelly, blackberry preserves, and black raspberries leap from the glass, followed by hints of licorice and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is laden with muscular, savory-laced fruits, supported by grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering mineral note.

95/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2019 Larcis-Ducasse is classically-styled on the nose with tobacco and cedar infusing the black fruit, a little austere at first, yet there is a sense of stature. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, slightly candied in style but there is commendable structure behind this Saint-Émilion with a dash of black pepper on the finish. Exquisite. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

95/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Larcis Ducasse has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, burning embers, spices and licorice. Full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe tannins and succulent acids, it's a giving, generous wine that's softer and rounder than Pavie Macquin, its stablemate. This beautiful vineyard, managed by Nicolas Thienpont, is located on the limestone slopes of Saint-Emilion, sandwiched between Pavie and Bellefont-Belcier.

95/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Extreme in all the right ways - in the verticality, the salinity, the density, the forward motion and the stretching out through the palate. But it is also mouthwatering and drinkable, with a ton of blueberry and raspberry puree fruits alongside still austere tannins. Love it. Owned by the Gratiot-Attmane family, made by the Nicolas Thienpont team. 38.5hl/ha yield.
