The Estate

Chateau Gruaud Larose is a 2nd Classified Growth in the Saint-Julien appellation. The vines have an average age of 46 years and are planted in a 82-hectare vineyard with Garonne gravel soils. The maturation process of this Bordeaux red wine is carried out in French oak barrels (80% of which are new and 20% aged one year) for a period of 18 to 24 months.

Blend

58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc,  5% Petit Verdot

Tasting Notes

Wine Advocate-Parker : 90 / 100
The 2014 Gruaud Larose has a light and airy bouquet at first, one that gathers depth with aeration. It is a little conservative at the moment, dusky black fruit mixed with sage and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, slightly angular tannin. It is certainly fresh in the mouth, although it feels a tad pinched towards the finish; therefore, afford this 4-5 years in bottle to develop more substance and ambition.
