Score 95-96/100 · James Suckling

This is very polished and beautiful with ultra-fine tannins and a long, linear finish. It has a density and beauty that seduces you. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

This is really flattering, offering crushed raspberry, boysenberry and plum fruit stitched with dried anise, bramble and chalky threads. Long, elegant, spice-infused finish. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

The last Merlot was picked after the last Cabernet Franc on this bit of the Côte Pavie. Very floral and sumptuous on the nose. Rich and round and perfumed. Lots of juice and appeal. Interesting! A hint of sweet leather. Grown-up wine. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2025-2040

The 2016 Larcis Ducasse is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Silky, supple and gracious to the core, it possesses exceptional textural finesse and nuance from start to finish. Nothing is out place; instead, in 2016 Larcis impresses with its poise, depth and centeredness. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and lavender infuse the creamy, resonant finish, and all the richness of this south-facing site comes through loud and clear. Quite simply, the 2016 is an exceptional Larcis. Don't miss it! Tasted four times. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
