Château Gruaud Larose, situated in Saint-Julien, is a storied second growth estate from the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Founded in the 18th century, the château has a rich history of crafting robust, age-worthy wines. The estate is known for its iconic circular tower, which symbolizes its enduring presence in Bordeaux. Now owned by the Merlaut family, Gruaud Larose continues to honor its heritage while embracing modern winemaking innovations to maintain its reputation for excellence.
Saint-Julien is celebrated for its ideal location within the Médoc, lying between Pauillac and Margaux. This appellation is characterized by its diversity of gravel soils, which impart a signature elegance to the wines. The Gironde estuary provides a stabilizing maritime influence, minimizing temperature extremes and fostering optimal growing conditions. Wines from Saint-Julien are renowned for their balance, offering the power of Pauillac with the finesse of Margaux.
Château Gruaud Larose’s 82 hectares of vineyards are planted on deep gravel soils interspersed with clay, which lend complexity and depth to its wines. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the plantings, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The estate’s terroir benefits from excellent drainage and abundant sunlight, ensuring ripe, concentrated fruit. Gruaud Larose’s meticulous viticulture and traditional vinification techniques highlight the unique characteristics of its site, producing wines of impressive structure and longevity.
