2025 Chateau Larcis Ducasse - St. Emilion (375ml) HALF BTL [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

From the hillside estate just a short distance from the village of St-Émilion, 2025 Chateau Larcis Ducasse sits at the heart of the Grande Côte, along the Côte Pavie. The vineyard plots form a natural south-facing staircase—a millefeuille of clay and limestone soils fed by natural springs that rise beneath the blue clay. This terroir lends the wine energy and freshness, even as ripeness deepens. The 2025 vintage expresses that identity with bright fruit, expressive balance, and radiance, delivering depth, intensity, and an elegant lightness that defines a rare finesse.

HALF BTL (375ml) Bordeaux Future ETA 2028 – a compact format that preserves the wine’s terroir-driven character for intimate tastings or progressive meals, while hinting at the wine’s potential to evolve with careful cellaring until its Bordeaux-aged future.
