Château Larcis Ducasse - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2021 :

 

The Epitome of Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé

Château Larcis-Ducasse, a Premier Grand Cru Classé property, is revered for producing wines of remarkable purity and depth. Its unique location on the Côte Pavie slope, with clay-limestone soils over the famous Asteria limestone, imparts a signature elegance and freshness that balances the wine's inherent richness.

Tasting Notes

• **Color:** Vibrant, deep ruby to garnet.
• **Nose:** Elegant and complex, featuring concentrated dark berries (blackcurrant, ripe plum), subtle cedar, tobacco leaf, and a distinct mineral lift.
• **Palate:** Powerful yet beautifully poised. The texture is glossy and suave, with firm, fine tannins that are beautifully polished. The core of dark fruit is persistent, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks volumes of its exceptional terroir. This wine is built for the cellar.

Food Pairing & Service

This is a wine deserving of your Sunday best. Decant for two hours if enjoying young, and serve at 16°C. It is a classic 'claret' that demands traditional British fare of the highest quality.

• **Suggested Pairings:** Traditional Sunday Roast Beef, game pie, mature hard cheeses (e.g., aged Cheddar or Comté), or best quality Lamb with rosemary.
