In a few words ...
Second wine of a second Grand Cru Classé, Château Gruaud Larose, on one of the Médoc's finest terroirs. Sarget de Gruaud-Larose, like its predecessor Gruaud Larose, stands out for its constant concern to produce a wine of excellence as naturally as possible. With an average age of 25 years, the vines benefit from soils composed of Garonne gravel. The wine is aged for a minimum of 14 months in barrels (15% in new barrels and the rest in one- or two-wine barrels).
Tasting notes
Appearance
Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
The nose reveals notes of violet and empyreumatic like wood, roasting, vanilla ... In aging, the wine will reveal very high quality game or truffle aromas.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Smoked
Taste
The wines of Saint-Julien are famous for mixing the feminine finesse of Margaux wines with the strength of Pauillac wines. We will find therefore structured tannins with a note of black fruits important that will give an interesting overall balance.
