Château GRUAUD LAROSE
2ème grand cru classé
- 2024 Futures
- Saint-Julien
Of all the second classified growths in St-Julien, Gruaud-Larose is the most vigorous and massive in young wine. But, the magic of the terroir, it acquires softness and finesse if it is given time to age. Its quality/price ratio puts it ahead of the other second classified growths of St-Julien!
J-M Quarin: 94/100 "Dark, intense and lively colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, pure and fruity. Delicate on the palate, delicious in the middle, with flavour, a melting body, the wine stretches out on the finish, fragrant and delicate. A very good wine. Note how the low alcohol content does nothing to detract from the wine's density." (April 2025)
