In a few words ...
It was in 1997 that this grand cru classé in the Saint-Julien appellation, of great lineage, was acquired by the Merlaut family. Château Gruaud-Larose has a 300-year tradition of excellence in winegrowing, and cannot deny its legendary finesse. This "wine of kings and king of wines", according to the house motto, is the fruit of a passionate dedication to shaping nectars with floral fragrances (Larose) and the inimitable minerality of Graves (Gruaud). J. Suckling: 95-96/100
Tasting notes
Appearance
Dense, dark garnet-red color, tending toward violet in its youth.
Aroma
The nose is composed of violets and empyreumatic aromas such as wood, torrefaction, vanilla... As the wine ages, it will reveal high-quality game and truffle aromas.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Smoked
Taste
Saint-Julien wines are renowned for combining the feminine finesse of Margaux wines with the strength of Pauillac wines. As a result, we'll find full-bodied tannins with a strong note of black fruit, giving an interesting overall balance.
Wine Fruité | Grillé | Long | Rond | Tannique
