2024 Château Gruaud-Larose Grand Cru Classé

FIRST 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 the—originally undivided—Léoville. This cru, located behind Ch. Branaire Ducru and next to Ch. Lagrange, enjoys a magnificent terroir of rock deposits (from the Gironde estuary, 700,000 years ago). It has belonged to the Merlaut family since 1997, and in recent years, the wines have consistently received very high ratings. Their Gruaud-Larose is above all a super-feminine, refined, and delicate, yet beautifully concentrated St. Julien. The vineyards are (or are in the process of being) converted 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

FACT: Under the "Attachment" tab, you'll find the official fact sheet, which we'll send you digitally when you order this wine. It's also worth mentioning that we purchase our (Bordeaux) wines directly and never through intermediaries, as we don't know all the journeys the wine has made or how it's been treated. The wines come directly from the Chateau's cellars to our climate-controlled warehouse in Dordrecht, where all our wines are stored.
