Château Gruaud Larose
A historic estate rooted in the heart of Saint-Julien, where the winemaking heritage has been passed down since 1725.
- Terroir: Deep Quaternary gravels on the banks of the Garonne, imparting a chalky minerality and structured elegance to the wines.
- Vinification: Bordeaux-style blend aged in French oak barrels, combining tradition and precision to produce cuvées that are both powerful and silky.
Tasting notes for Château Gruaud Larose Gruaud Larose 1970
To the eye – Ruby robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density, betraying a maturity patinated by time.
On the nose – Aromas of candied dark fruits, star anise and liquorice, followed by hints of blonde tobacco, damp cedar and a saline minerality reminiscent of the terroir's gravels.
On the palate – Velvety texture, carried by a lively acidity and mineral tension, with well-integrated yet persistent tannins, and a long finish with notes of woodland undergrowth and gentle spices.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 1970
A vintage marked by optimal ripeness, where the balance between freshness and concentration delivers a classic expression of Saint-Julien.
- Ageing potential: To be enjoyed through 2035, stored under ideal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity).
