Persoonlijke gegevens
Château Gruaud-Larose is a wine estate in Bordeaux and a second cru of the Bordeaux wine classification system of 1855. It is located in the village of Saint-Julien. For a long time it was one of the most important châteaus in the village, overshadowed only by the - originally undivided - Léoville. This cru, located behind Ch. Branaire Ducru and next to Ch. Lagrange, enjoys a beautiful terroir of stone deposits (from the Gironde, 700,000 years ago). It has belonged to the Merlaut family since 1997 and in recent years the wines have without exception received very high ratings and their Gruaud-Larose is above all a super feminine, refined and delicate, but beautifully concentrated St. Julien. The vineyards are (or are in the process of being converted) to organic wine cultivation.
The Gruaud Larose 2019 is a blend of 2/3 Cabernet Sauvignon supplemented with Merlot and a little bit of Petit verdot and Cabernet Franc. In the glass it has a dark red color with a purple tinge. The Gruaud-Larose 2019 has a coherent, very harmonious bouquet with crushed stone and tobacco in which the black fruit is infused; cedar scents emerge with further aeration. The taste is medium-bodied with a juicy mouthfeel. Licorice and a touch of black pepper provide the long, beautiful aftertaste.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Saint-Julien toont diepe zwarte fruittonen met een verfijnde mineraalachtige ondergrond, ceder en tabak in het bouquet en een mondvullende, medium-bodied smaak met zoethout en een vleugje zwarte peper in de lange afdronk. Dankzij de stevige maar elegante tannines, de sappige zuurgraad en de geconcentreerde smaakstructuur sluit hij perfect aan bij rundvlees, hartige charcuterie, rijpe kazen en langzaam gegaarde stoofschotels; het zwarte fruit en de cedertonen benadrukken gerookte of gezouten smaken terwijl de peperige toets costumeert bij gekruid vlees. Kies voor gegrild of met peperkorst gebakken entrecote, langzaam gestoofd sukadelappen of short ribs en bij kazen denk aan oude harde kazen of een selectie met truffel en noten om de complexiteit van de wijn maximaal te laten uitkomen. |

The 2019 Gruaud Larose is performing extremely well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with notions of licorice, potpourri, pencil shavings and subtle soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless, with powdery tannins and succulent acids, it's remarkably suave and refined for a wine of obvious breadth, concentration and power.
In the last few years, Gruaud Larose has been transformed. This 92-hectare vineyard, occupying a single block on the plateau of Saint-Julien, has been extensively restructured: in the past, Merlot, susceptible to frost, had been planted in the highest parts of the vineyards for protection—but those just happened to be the sites best adapted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Now, varieties and soil types are better matched (50% of the vineyard has been replanted); yields are lower, and farming is better: 2019 marked the beginning of organic conversion, but beyond that, the aspiration is to create a durable ecosystem, with wildlife corridors, agroforestry (3,000 trees have been planted), insect houses and so on; soils are worked less often and less deeply and sowed with cover crops. In the winery, the fruit sees multiple sorting before macerations that are gentle but protracted, at comparatively low temperatures, and great attention is paid to selecting which lots of press wine to include in the blend. The results, as the 2019 testifies, are compelling. This doesn't mark a return to the muscular, rich, rustic style of the Cordier era's heyday but nor does contemporary Gruaud Larose have anything in common with the rather lean, malnourished wines frequently produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Instead, we are learning that Gruaud Larose can produce wines that are both elegant and intense. If this trajectory continues, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the château will be entering a new golden era.

Attractive aromas of ripe dark and blue fruit, vanilla, dark chocolate, hazelnuts and wet soil. Dense and compact with layers of polished tannins that hold long and even on the palate. Firm finish with notes of chocolate and crushed stones. Pretty finish. Try after 2026.

From: Bordeaux 2019: The Southwold Tasting (Feb 2023)
The 2019 Gruaud-Larose has a cohesive, very harmonious bouquet with crushed stone and tobacco infusing the black fruit; cedar scents surfacing with further aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, sweeter than expected but not cloying, liquorice and touches of black pepper furnishing the long and quite decadent finish. One for the long haul. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
