Reviews

A Merlot-heavy blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Château Larcis Ducasse sports a dense purple hue as well as incredible aromatics of ripe currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with smoky tobacco, graphite, and crushed stone. Aged in a mix of 225-liter barriques (45%), 500-liter demi-muids (40%), and foudres (15%), it checks in at 13.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.5. Deep, rich, and full-bodied on the palate, it has a broad, layered mouthfeel, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. It might end up being in the top handful of wines in the vintage. ~97-99 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2025 Larcis Ducasse has a gorgeous bouquet already, with pure blackberry and cassis fruit, seamlessly integrated new oak, retaining focus and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, with very fine lace-like tannins, perfectly judged acidity, bright acids towards the finish, upholding tension and a silky texture that is totally disarming. Outstanding. ~ 95-97 Vinous Media

Matured 40% in barrels (50% new), 45% in large-format barrels (also 50% new) and the balance in foudres, the 2025 Larcis Ducasse reveals an elegant, vibrant and gourmand bouquet of violet, dark berries, dark cherries and flowers, accented by delicate spicy notes. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and seamless, it’s built around a ripe—yet not overripe—core of fruit framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a floral, harmonious and ethereal finish. This is a pure expression of Larcis Ducasse and one of the most accomplished renditions produced here to date. ~ 95-97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Well composed, balanced, seductive, and vivid. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Well shaped, with an inspired and focus mid-palate.  Flavorful and lingering finish. ~ 95-96 James Suckling

Gorgeously alive blackcurrant aromas on the nose, so pure and expressive. Silky, a little sharp, the acidity is really the focus here with crystalline strawberry fruit. A bit tight, but the tension really drives the flavours forward with a sleek outline. So smooth, the tannins are excellent, I love the very softly chalky, but also slightly chewy aspect here all the while keeping that quite strict, straight, citrus-edged acidity. It’s a live wire. I like it a lot, needs time, but there’s energy and focus for sure. Piercing, mouthwatering, but ends crisp and grippy. 3.50pH. A yield of 40hl/ha. ~ 95 Decanter
