Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2018 St-Emilion Grand Cru
$159.99Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 100 Rating
The 2018 Château Larcis Ducasse checks in as 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc that comes from a gorgeous hillside terroir on the Côte Pavie, located between Château Pavie and Château Bellefont-Belcier. Aged 18 months in 60% new barrels, it offers a truly sensational bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, espresso roast, scorched earth, bloody meat, chocolate, iron, and bouquet garni. A massive, super-rich Saint-Emilion with a dense, concentrated, layered mouthfeel, it has building yet sweet tannins and incredible purity of fruit. Reminding me of the 2005 shortly after release, this heavenly juice offers astonishing richness and depth while staying flawlessly balanced and elegant. Sadly, there are less than 3,000 cases produced, but this monumental, legendary wine won't hit maturity for a good 8-10 years and will have 40-50 years of longevity if well stored. SP54-18 -
Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2020 Red Blend St Emilion Grand Cru Classe
$139.99 – $690.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 99 Rating
The Grand Vin comes from a tiny 11.15-hectare vineyard that has been in the Gratiot family since 1893. Located on the south-facing Côte Pavie, between Château Pavie and Château Bellefont-Belcier and consisting of clay on top of limestone soils, the vineyard has recently been going through a replanted phase using a selection massale and a higher density planting. The grapes are hand-sorted, vinification occurs all in concrete and spans four weeks, with the élevage in 50% new French oak. A normal blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Château Larcis Ducasse reminds me of the 2005 and is up with the top handful of wines on the Right Bank. It has a brilliant perfume of red and black fruits, white truffle, leafy tobacco, and Asian spices.

Chateau Laroque 2020 Red Blend St Emilion Grand Cru Classe
$39.99 – $180.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
From an estate that has been on an incredible run of late, largely due to the talents of director David Suire, the 2020 Chateau Laroque shows the cooler, limestone-driven style of the terroir beautifully and has a clean, focused style in its darker (almost blue) berry fruits as well as chalky minerality, violets, spice, and floral nuances. Medium-bodied on the palate, this focused, straight, remarkably pure Saint-Emilion has terrific mid-palate depth and a great finish. It needs to be hidden in the cellar for a solid 4-5 years if possible and is going to have 30 years of longevity. If drinking any time soon, give it an hour in a decanter. Best After 2027.

Chateau Larose Perganson 2018 Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois
$29.99 – $288.00Bordeaux France
Wine Enthusiast 92 Rating
Associated with Larose-Trintaudon, this estate has produced a dense wine. Rich tannins, spice, blackberry fruits and smoky acidity are all set for good aging. The wine’s concentration is impressive, and it should not be drunk before 2024.

Chateau Larose Trintaudon 2019 Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois
$26.99 – $132.00Bordeaux France
Wine Enthusiast 91 Rating
This 430-acre estate has produced an elegant, fruity wine. The wine comes from vines on the edge of the Pauillac appellation, with deep gravel soil that gives structure to the approachable black fruits. Drink from 2025.

Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion 2019 Red Blend Pessac-Leognan
$54.99 – $300.00Bordeaux France
Vinous 93 Rating
The 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion is terrific. Dark, fleshy and resonant in the glass. Wild cherry, tobacco, incense, leather, smoke and game all take shape in this potent wine. Franc top notes lend quite a bit of aromatic presence, but then again, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc make up most of the blend. Once again, Larrivet Haut-Brion is a classy, under the radar gem.

Chateau Lascombes 2010 Red Blend Margaux
$119.99 – $660.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Rating
The 2010 Château Lascombes is flat-out gorgeous and might be the finest vintage from this château I’ve tasted. Based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot that was raised in 90% new French oak, it has a dense purple/plum hue as well as a blockbuster-like style in its darker currants, cassis, smoky tobacco, incense, and graphite aromas and flavors. Beautifully textured, full-bodied, dense, and concentrated, but still graceful and beautifully balanced, it’s clearly in its prime drinking window yet has another 2-3 decades of overall longevity. It is impossible to resist today. SP51-6

Chateau Lascombes 2015 Red Blend Margaux
$99.99 – $540.00Bordeaux France
Wine Enthusiast 96 Rating
This is a powerful wine, with wood aging that adds richness to the dense tannins. Some tough extraction has not detracted from the ripe fruit or structure and will go as the wine matures. It should be ready to drink from 2026.

Chateau Lascombes 2022 Chevalier de Lascombes Margaux
$39.99 – $180.00Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating
The second wine of Château Lascombes, the 2022 Chevalier de Lascombes is beautifully textured and medium-bodied, offering bright cassis and darker, almost blue fruits, alongside spicy floral nuances. It has an elegant mouthfeel and a great finish. Aged in oak barrels, this should evolve well for 10-15 years. SP55-6
