Château Larcis Ducasse 2022

The complexity and refinement of a Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé

The estate

Château Larcis Ducasse has existed since the 17th century. Preservation, revelation of the terroir and care for the vines are the watchwords of this estate, which was elevated to the rank of Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé in 2012 thanks to the work of Nicolas Thienpont, who took over the reins of the estate in 2002.

The vineyard

Château Larcis Ducasse 2022 is a Saint-Émilion wine made from 11.15 hectares of vines. The vines are an average of 35 years old and are planted on a veritable mosaic of clay-limestone terroirs on asteriated limestone, as well as clay-limestone and clay-limestone colluvial soils.
