2nd Grand Cru Classé in 1855
Secure packaging and transport insurance
"The wine of kings, the king of wines" is the motto that adorns the label of Château Gruaud Larose, one of the finest wines in the Saint-Julien appellation. Founded by Abbé Gruaud in 1725, in 1781 he bequeathed it to his nephew, Chevalier de Larose, who gave it his name.
Gained the title of Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has been owned by the Merlaut family since 1997. The 82-hectare vineyard is planted on deep Garonne gravel outcrops, and is planted with 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. This type of terroir is ideal for producing wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Sarget de Gruaud Larose is the Second wine of the Domaine, vinified with the same care.
The wines of Château Gruaud Larose are noble, racy and complex, allowing fruit and finesse to express themselves, confirming its Second status.
Although an early vintage, the 2007 expresses St-Julien's style perfectly: a wine with a subtle balance between structure, freshness and aromatic complexity. With its deep, intense red color, it boasts a delicate bouquet. Notes of raspberry, strawberry and redcurrant mingle with hints of sweet spices and Indian black tea. The palate is both rich and supple, with finely chiselled tannins and powerful fruit aromas. The beautifully pure finish leaves a pleasant freshness on the palate.
