The Château Gruaud Larose 1985, a jewel of Saint-Julien, expresses the gravels of the Médoc. This mature red wine, with notes of cedar and dark fruits, offers a velvety and mineral palate. Perfect until 2030 with game or hard cheeses.
Château Gruaud Larose
Nestled in the heart of Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, this legendary estate has embodied the excellence of great Bordeaux wines since the 18th century.
- Terroir : From the deep gravels and clay-limestone soils of the Médoc, shaping wines of classic structure and distinctive minerality.
- Vinification : A traditional approach, combining rigour and patience, to reveal the balance and complexity of the appellation's emblematic grape varieties.
Tasting notes for Château Gruaud Larose Gruaud Larose 1985
- To the eye : A garnet red robe with tawny highlights, dense and slightly veiled by time, betraying a silky texture and generous substance.
- On the nose : A bouquet blending aromas of candied blackcurrant, cedar, blonde tobacco and undergrowth, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of liquorice, evoking the depth of the Médoc terroir.
- On the palate : A velvety attack, carried by a lively acidity and a still-present tannic framework, offering a fine tension between fruity notes and spiced nuances, leading to a long, mineral finish.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its aromas.
Vintage 1985
A pivotal vintage, where the ripeness of the grapes allowed the full richness of the Saint-Julien terroir to be expressed, while retaining remarkable freshness.
- Aging potential : At its peak today, this wine can still be cellared for 5 to 10 years under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity).
