Château Gruaud-Larose

"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.

Description +

Description Château Gruaud Larose 2012.

The wine has a deep garnet color with purple highlights. The nose opens with fresh red and black fruits such as cherry, blackcurrant, and raspberry, combined with notes of sweet spices, cedar, and blond tobacco, already revealing a pleasant complexity. With aeration, slightly floral and mineral touches appear. On the palate, the attack is supple and velvety, supported by fine, precise tannins. Balance is ensured by fresh acidity and beautiful fruit concentration. The wine displays a dense but harmonious texture, gradually giving way to woody and spicy notes that prolong the tasting experience. The finish is long and persistent, confirming the vintage's aging potential.
