2024 Château Gruaud-Larose Grand Cru Classé

EXCLUSIVE OFFER VALID UNTIL 31/12/2026 - DELIVERY SPRING 2027

Château Gruaud-Larose is a Bordeaux wine estate and a second cru in the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification system. It is located in the village of Saint-Julien. For a long time, it was one of the village's most important châteaux, overshadowed only by Léoville—originally undivided. This cru, situated behind Château Branaire Ducru and next to Château Lagrange, benefits from a magnificent 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 received very high ratings without exception; their Gruaud-Larose is, above all, a super-feminine, refined, and delicate, yet beautifully concentrated St. Julien. The vineyards are (or are in conversion) to organic viticulture.

Ratings: 96 Yves Beck (Beckustator), 94 Jean-Marc Quarin, 93-95 Alexandre Ma, 93 Jane Anson, 93 Falstaff Magazine, 92-94 Wine Advocate

FUN FACT: Under the tab: Attachment, you will find the official factsheet, which we will send to you digitally upon ordering this wine. It is also worth mentioning that we purchase the (Bordeaux) wines directly and never acquire them through intermediaries, as we would then not know the journeys the wine has made or how it has been treated. The wines come directly from the cellars of the Chateau to our climate-controlled warehouse in Dordrecht, where all our wines are stored.
