Château Gruaud-Larose is a wine estate in Bordeaux and a second cru from the 1855 Bordeaux wine classification system. It is located in the village of Saint-Julien. For a long time it was one of the most important châteaux in the village, only overshadowed by the - originally undivided - Léoville. This cru, located behind Ch. Branaire Ducru and next to Ch. Lagrange, benefits from a magnificent terroir of stony deposits (from the Gironde, 700,000 years ago). It has belonged to the Merlaut family since 1997 and in recent years the wines have been awarded very high ratings without exception and their Gruaud-Larose is above all a super feminine, refined and delicate, but 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

FACT: Under the tab: Attachment you will find the official factsheet and we will send it to you digitally when you order this wine. Also worth mentioning that we buy the (Bordeaux) wines directly and never through intermediaries, because then we do not know which journeys the wine has made and how it has been treated. The wines come from the cellars of the Chateau directly to our conditioned Warehouse in Dordrecht where all our wines are stored.
