Château GRUAUD LAROSE 1945
Saint-Julien

The Gruaud-Larose domain extends between Branaire-Ducru, to the east and Lagrange, to the west. Its very extensive vineyard (85 hectares) is based on medium gravel soil. In the 18th century, the estate, owned by the Gruaud brothers, covers up to 115 hectares. The son-in-law of one of them, M. de Larose, takes over the estate and becomes the tireless ambassador of this wine, which reaches the royal table, hence the famous formula that can still be read on its label: "the king of wines, the wine of kings". A well-deserved mention, because for many years, the wines have established themselves as the most massive and long to evolve of the Saint-Julien. And yet, the story of Gruaud Larose is not a long quiet river. After many changes of owners during the 19th century, the estate paid the price of a stormy succession, from which it was divided in 1867. One of the owners is Baron Sarget, who gave his name to the current second wine. , Sarget de Gruaud Larose. The Cordier Group, which became its owner in 1917, successfully reunited the two plots of the old estate in 1934. Gruaud Larose was sold in 1993 to the company Alcatel Alsthom, then, in 1997, to the Merlaut family. Today, Gruaud Larose wines are less tannic, less rough than in the past, combining finesse and balance. Cut for a long, even very long aging, in great vintages, they however require a good ten years of aging before becoming more flexible. The color is almost black, the wine releases powerful aromas of red fruits. On the palate, it is fat, full and rich.
