This historic estate has been producing exceptional wines for over a century, and is known for its elegant and complex wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Saint-Émilion region.

The history of Château Larcis Ducasse dates back to the 17th century, when the estate was owned by the Larcis family. It was later acquired by the Ducasse family in the 19th century, and it wasn't until the 20th century that the two names were combined to create the current name of the estate. In 2002, Château Larcis Ducasse was acquired by the Gratiot-Attmane family, who have continued to uphold the legacy of producing exceptional wines.

The estate covers 11 hectares of vineyards, which are predominantly planted with Merlot, the dominant grape variety in the Saint-Émilion region. The remaining vineyards are planted with Cabernet Franc, which adds structure and complexity to the wines. The vineyards are situated on a south-facing slope, with a mix of limestone and clay soils, which are ideal for producing rich and full-bodied wines.

It has received numerous accolades and high scores from critics, further cementing its reputation as one of the top wines from the Saint-Émilion appellation.
