Description/ Tasting Notes
The 2013 Larcis-Ducasse offers simple, leather-tinged red berry fruit on the nose mixed with undergrowth, touch of morels. Palate is tart on the entry with hints of Earl Grey tea and spice infusing the red fruit. Keen line of acidity and more freshness and harmony towards the finish.Winery Info/ Brand

From the mythical Grande Côte to the limestone promontory overlooking the Dordogne valley, Larcis Ducasse reveals a staircase with steps stitched with light and freshness.
Region Info/ Origin
Saint-Emilion is a charming medieval village located in the heart of the famous Bordeaux wine area. It is a unique site where world-famous wineries, beautiful architecture and great monuments can be found. The legend tells a story about a monk, Emilion, from Brittany who fled from his hometown in Vannes to seek refuge in the eighth century. Living the life of a hermit, he accomplished a few miracles and rapidly became famous in the region and even far beyond its border. Even after his death his followers carried on his legacy and even named the town after his name. From the ninth century to the 19th century, men had the will to mine the soil in order to standardise the whole architectural looking of not only the city of Saint-Emilion but also a few ones in the region (such as Right Banc Bordeaux).
