Description

2eme Cru Classe St. Julien

"Deep garnet in color, the 2016 Gruaud Larose slowly unfurls to offer glimpses at gorgeous scents of black cherries, warm cassis, and lilacs, followed by hints of licorice, dried flowers, and crushed rocks with a touch of cinnamon. The medium-bodied palate is fantastically elegant and refined, with plush tannins to frame the delicate fruit layers, finishing long and seamless." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, December 2022

69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc

Drink 2026-2050

In 1757, Monsieur Gruaud grouped a number of small vineyards together to form one large one, under his name. Eventually a descendant of the first owner took over the property. His name was Larose, and he immediately linked his name to the estate, bought by Desire Cordier in 1915. Managed under the direction of Georges Pauly, the highly respected director of Domaines Cordier, Gruaud Larose is one of St. Julien's most popular wines. Its large production has a quality that is consistently very high. One of the most continuously successful wines produced in Bordeaux, regardless of vintage.

The wines are full bodied, but elegant with lots of fruit when young. They age very well and develop all the characteristics of a great Bordeaux, tending to be smoother and more elegant than many contemporaries.
