A true emblem of the Saint Julien appellation, Château Gruaud Larose is a 2nd Cru Classé and became part of the Merlaut family's estate in 1997. The estate covers no less than 129 hectares. Many tasters agree that the 2018 vintage is the best vintage of the château in recent years.
Tasting notes :
Dress: a beautiful intense red with brilliant purple tints.
The nose: there is a lot of complexity, as well as intense aromas with elegant woody, vanilla, liqorice and coffee notes, with a finish of black fruits.
The palate: greedy and fruity with hints of chocolate and mocha. Rich and round tannins.
The suggestion for 12 bottles: It will go perfectly with game. To be decanted 1 hour before tasting
