Just a stone’s throw from the village of St-Emilion, Larcis Ducasse is a garden, a world apart. Eleven and a half hectares of vines unfold along its gentle and steep slopes. With a single glance, the visitor can take in the vineyard and fall under its spell. From the mythical Grande Côte to the limestone promontory overlooking the Dordogne valley, Larcis Ducasse reveals a staircase with steps sewn with light and freshness.

The vineyard benefits from a wonderful exposure. Facing due south. Mediterranean species flourish at the top of the slope: fig trees, laurels… Bathed in sunlight and enclosed by stone, the small terraced plots draw their energy from the soil as much as from the sky. These layers shape the incredible balance of the wines produced here.

Larcis Ducasse is the kingdom of Merlot, the dominant grape variety in our vineyards. A land of contrasts, while the vines bask in the sun’s rays, the rooted vines remain cool. The soil provides the vines with all the beneficial conditions needed to temper the extremes of the climate. The springs that trickle beneath our feet, the caves that carve into the plateau, and the white clays of the slopes (Fronsac Molasses) are important markers of Larcis’s identity and contribute a remarkable freshness, so characteristic of the place.
