Chateau Gruaud-Larose ‘Sarget de Gruaud-Larose’ 2016, Saint-Julien

A historical reference of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Gruaud Larose was founded in 1757, when different estates merged. The property received its current name when the heir of Joseph Gruaud added “Larose” to his name, thus becoming Château Gruaud Larose. Acquired by the Merlaut family in 1997, Château Gruaud Larose embodies the excellence of the fine Saint-Julien red wines and seduces lovers of the appellation with its signature style. Sarget de Gruaud Larose is the Second Wine of the estate.
