The 2025 marries power with finesse to a degree that is exceptionally rare. Lively acids and lifted floral overtones brighten the long, resonant finish. Larcis was one of the first properties in Bordeaux to introduce large-format wood, a choice that works so well for this site and these wines. \u003cstrong\u003eThis is a stellar effort\u003c\/strong\u003e from Technical Director David Suire, who has been at the helm since 2022. Tasted three times. 2035-2075. \u003cstrong\u003e95-97 \u003c\/strong\u003eAntonio Galloni, Vinous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGorgeously alive blackcurrant aromas on the nose, so pure and expressive. \u003c\/strong\u003eSilky, a little sharp, the acidity is really the focus here with crystalline strawberry fruit. 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. \u003cstrong\u003e95\u003c\/strong\u003e Georgina Hindle, Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57041855021216,"sku":"BX25-LARC","price":112.7,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/1889\/8336\/files\/2276_Image1_7bdd885b-4e56-4fe6-aae1-3a2b16b2860f.jpg?v=1780550181","url":"https:\/\/www.pmfw.co.nz\/products\/2025-chateau-larcis-ducasse-saint-emilion-1er-grand-cru-classe-b","provider":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
