Christian Balog beschreibt den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2022 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
95-98
Die Nase zeigt sich auch hier mit viel reifer Frucht, es sind aber von Beginn an Nuancen von frischer Blumenwiese mit im Spiel. Im Mund saftig und geschliffen, mit zarter Röstaromatik, keine Schwere, statt dessen eine sehr präzise Säure in der Mitte die Ihn in ein langes aromatisches Finale trägt.
Den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
A fleshy, opulent wine, the 2022 Larcis Ducasse bursts with aromas of rich, creamy berry fruit mingled with aromas of licorice, bay leaf and spices. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, it's a textural, layered wine with a ripe core of fruit, supple tannins and an expansive finish. More dramatic and unabashed than the 2020, this will appeal to readers who place a premium on flamboyant extravagance; but samples tasted later during my visit to Bordeaux exhibited greater freshness and precision.
Den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
This is really precise with a lazer-guided fine tannin structure throughout the wine, and juicy and electric texture. It’s so refined and polished. Endless. Wonderful young wine with a terrific future.
Den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
Tasted on multiple occasions and one of the legendary wines in the making from this vintage, the 2022 Château Larcis Ducasse clocks in as 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc that's still resting in 55% new French oak. A hypothetical blend of the 2005 and 2018, it's a deep, powerful, opulent Saint-Emilion offering an incredible array of black cherries, blackberries, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. With a rich, full-bodied, expansive mouthfeel, it has ultra-fine tannins, beautiful symmetry in its tannins, acidity, and fruit, no hard edges, and a killer finish. I was lucky enough to taste this on four separate occasions and I thought it had the potential to be a perfect wine every time.
Den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische schwarze Herzkirschen, etwas Lakritze, florale Nuancen, kühles, attrraktives Bukett. Saftig, elegant und balanciert, feine Fruchtsüße, reife Frucht, feine Struktur, lange anhaltend, bereits sehr harmonisch, großes Zukunftspotenzial.

97-99
The dark, purple hue stands out. Licorice, smoke, oyster shell, espresso, black cherries, and plums are all over the perfume. The wine explodes from the glass with its layers of opulent, black and red fruits, dark chocolate, espresso, smoke and chocolate on the palate. Full-bodied, powerful, and most importantly pure, there is a depth of flavor, and richness on the mid-palate that sticks with you through to the extended, mineral-driven finish. I would not be surprised to see this score even higher once it is in the bottle. The wine blends 86% Merlot with 14% Cabernet Franc, 14.6% ABV, 3.5 pH. The harvest took place September 13-September 23. Yields were 34 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2027-2055.

97 / 100
Smells gorgeous, black fruits, milk chocolate and floral notes. Supple and lively, crystalline and pure, you get both the juicy, fleshiness of the dark and concentrated fruit but with tension and detail and definition. Clarity and bite, this really works and delivers everything you want in terms of tannins, minerality, freshness and density. Clearly powerful, but refined and sophisticated. Compelling and oh so drinkable. Wet stones, the minerality is gorgeous but the weight is too, this will be fantastic.
Neal Martin ist sich sicher, dass der Labegorce 2022 wenn er den Ausbau hinter sich hat ein schmeichelnder Margaux sein wird.
