FAMILLE GRATIOT-ATTMANE
Château Larcis Ducasse, promoted to first growth status in 2012, has belonged to the Gratiot-Attmane family since 1893.
A STORY
In a few words
Upon the advice of Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu, Nicolas Thienpont and David Suire have pursued the family’s efforts to produce high-quality wines since 2002.
Their awareness of the outstanding potential of the Larcis Ducasse terroir has led them to undertake precise soil analyses, invest heavily in the vineyard and cellar, and combine traditional and innovative techniques to produce the best possible wine.
