CHATEAU LARCIS DUCASSE MURMURE DE LARCIS DUCASSE SAINT-EMILION GC 2019

Situated on Saint-Émilion's legendary limestone plateau, Chateau Larcis Ducasse boasts a viticultural heritage dating back two millennia to Roman times. This historic estate, still owned by the Gratiot Alphandéry family, underwent a renaissance in 2002 when Nicolas Thienpont assumed management alongside consultants Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu. Their meticulous terroir study and cellar renovations unlocked the vineyard's exceptional potential, combining traditional winemaking with strategic innovation. Murmure, their second wine, captures the estate's essence with remarkable finesse. The wine delivers concentrated red fruit flavors underpinned by distinctive minerality from the limestone-clay soils. Elegant and approachable, it shows subtle oak influence while maintaining vibrant freshness—a perfect introduction to this Grand Cru terroir's exceptional expression.
