Owner's words
In this 2023 vintage, the Côte of Larcis Ducasse hillside was revealing all its Premier Grand Cru Classé quality. With dry conditions during the ripening of the grapes, the vines of Larcis enjoyed all the right conditions to temper and balance the excesses of the climate. Nicolas Thienpont and David Suire signed their twenty-second vintage on this first-class terroir.
