2013 Chateau Larcis Ducasse - Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé B - 6 Bottles (0.75L)
6 bottles of Chateau Larcis Ducasse, which is a Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé B. The vintage is 2013.
Château Larcis-Ducasse is a Premier Grand Cru Classe B wine producer based in the Bordeaux appellation of Saint-Émilion. The château and surrounding land are located on the Côte Pavie, where the site lies adjacent to the esteemed Château Pavie, and nearby Troplong Mondot and La Gaffelière. Like Pavie, Larcis-Ducasse produces a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend. It dates to the 16th Century, and it has been owned by the Gratiot Alphandéry family since the 1940s.
The estate spans around 11 hectares (27 acres) , primarily planted to Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. The low-yielding vines are on average 35 years old and are planted on a range of different soil types, from alluvial sand deposits to limestone, clay, and chalk. A south-faceing aspect maximises sunshine exposure into the canopy allowing grapes to ripen to thier full phenolic potential.
At harvest, grapes are handpicked in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place in cement tanks prior to malolactic fermentation in oak barrel. It is then barrel-aged for almost two years in French oak, two thirds of which is new. Movement of juice and wine in the cellar is powered by gravity to prevent excess oxidation. Larcis-Ducasse was one of the first in the region to have a gravity cellar, established in 1898.
The bottles will be shipped in their closed original wooden case in a protective packaging.
