Description

FOR SALE; ONE CASE (12 bottles) 2005 CHATEAU LARCIS DUCASSE ST EMILION GCC

Currently being stored at Averys, Bristol, where it has lain untouched and sealed since I purchased the wine from FRW in 2008. I can only assume the case and bottles are in perfect condition.

Larcis Ducasse is essentially a small 'garage' wine producer that has been producing very good wines for a few years now. In 2005 however, they exceeded all expectations with a monster wine - as RP testifies below:


This great terroir on the Cote Pavie has long been recognized as one of the most privileged spots in St.-Emilion, but it was not until the wunderkind duo of Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt took over in 2002 that the wine finally began to live up to its potential. Old timers who remember the 1945 Larcis Ducasse will attest to how great this cuvee can be. Sadly, fewer than 3,000 cases were produced of the 2005, a blend of 78% Merlot and the rest primarily Cabernet Franc with a small dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields were a modest 27 hectoliters per hectare. This stunning effort reveals one of the most extraordinary aromatic displays of the vintage, offering up notes of sweet roasted herbs, jus du viande, black olives, espresso roast, creme de cassis, and kirsch liqueur. Extremely full-bodied, opulent, and lavishly textured with plush tannin as well as an ethereal elegance, a sublime personality, glorious sweet purity, and a layered texture, this amazing St.-Emilion is destined to become a legend. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2028.

Score: 98 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (176), April 2008


This wine is currently selling for around £1200 per case. A sensible reserve has been applied that is fair and generous.

The wine will be shipped directly from Avery's to the winning bidder, on receipt of cleared payment.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
