"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.
Gruaud Larose 2019 opens with an incredibly expressive nose of red fruit, undergrowth, graphite and tonka bean. Hints of sandalwood complete the picture after a few minutes' aeration. From the outset, the palate is full-bodied and wonderfully dense. The tannins, which are beginning to develop a patina, offer a supple, silky structure that caresses the palate. Tension appears in the mid-palate, accompanying fruity aromas that linger for a long time on the palate.
