Description
With origins dating back to the 18th century, Château Gruaud Larose has long been recognised for producing wines that embody the traditional strength and elegance of Saint-Julien. The 2005 vintage, regarded as one of the finest in recent years, saw perfect growing conditions that allowed the estate’s Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend to thrive. The wine presents a powerful bouquet of ripe dark fruit, earthy notes, and hints of spice, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and longevity. Now fully matured, it offers a remarkable expression of this Second Growth, making it a perfect choice for collectors looking to experience Gruaud Larose at its peak.
