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!
The 2019 vintage is rated 93/100 by Neal Martin « This needs several years in bottle but should be well worth waiting for. My question is whether it will surpass the 2018. » (Feb. 2022)

Rated 95/100 by M. Quarin «Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en Primeur est confirmée. Le vin se présente très coloré, avec un nez un peu discret au départ, mais fruité, pur, mûr et légèrement crémeux.» (March 2022)
