Description

The 2007 Château Larcis Ducasse is a wine from the Saint-Émilion appellation in Bordeaux, France, classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé (B). Known for producing elegant and terroir-driven wines, Château Larcis Ducasse reflects the limestone and clay soils of its exceptional site. The 2007 vintage, while challenging due to a cooler and wetter growing season, resulted in approachable wines with freshness and charm when made by skilled producers like Larcis Ducasse.

Wine Overview
The 2007 Château Larcis Ducasse is typically a blend of:

Merlot (dominant): Adding richness, softness, and ripe fruit flavors.
Cabernet Franc: Contributing structure, aromatic complexity, and subtle spice.
Vintage Characteristics
The 2007 growing season was marked by inconsistent weather, including a rainy summer. However, a warm and sunny September helped improve ripening, particularly for Merlot, which is prominent on the Right Bank. Meticulous vineyard management and careful selection were essential to producing high-quality wines in this vintage, and Château Larcis Ducasse delivered a wine of balance and elegance.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Medium ruby with garnet reflections, showing some development.
Aroma: A fragrant bouquet of redcurrants, cherries, and raspberries, intertwined with earthy notes of cedar, tobacco, and forest floor. Hints of dried herbs, truffle, and spice add complexity.
Palate: Medium-bodied with smooth tannins and lively acidity. Flavors of red fruits, plums, and cranberries are complemented by savory elements like graphite, spices, and a touch of minerality, characteristic of Saint-Émilion’s limestone soils.
Finish: Medium-length, with elegant layers of fruit, earth, and a touch of spice.
Drinking Window
As of 2025, the 2007 Château Larcis Ducasse is at or near its peak. It offers a harmonious balance of primary fruit and tertiary characteristics, making it ideal for immediate enjoyment. Properly stored bottles may remain enjoyable for another few years but are unlikely to improve further.

Food Pairing
The elegance and freshness of the 2007 Larcis Ducasse pair well with:

Roast chicken or turkey with herbs and garlic.
Pork tenderloin or veal with a light mushroom sauce.
Mushroom-based dishes, such as risotto or wild mushroom pasta.
Medium-aged cheeses like Gruyère or Tomme de Savoie.
Serving Recommendations
Decanting: Decant for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the wine to breathe and open up its aromas.
Serving Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its complexity and balance.
Conclusion
The 2007 Château Larcis Ducasse is a graceful and approachable wine that reflects the estate’s terroir-driven style and commitment to quality. While it reflects the lighter nature of the vintage, it offers an enjoyable drinking experience with charm and elegance.
