"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.
The wine has a magnificent deep garnet color with purple highlights. On the nose, the bouquet reveals notes of fresh red fruits: cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, accompanied by floral nuances. After aeration, notes of vanilla, roasted coffee, and oak appear. On the palate, the attack is supple and fruity. The tannins are still young but well integrated, providing structure and balance. The finish is clean and fresh, with an aromatic return to red fruits and some discreet woody notes.
