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.

Chateau Gruaud-Larose

The Property Has A Younger History Than Most Of Its Cohorts. Its Origins Date To 1725 And The Knight Joseph Stanislas Gruaud. The Property Was Called Fond-bedeau, And Was Administered By Two Gruauds; One A Priest And The Other A Magistrate. The Magistrate, The Chevalier Du Gruaud, Died In 1778 And His Part Of The Property Was Deeded To Joseph Sebastian De La Rose, Who Renamed This Property Gruaud-la Rose Or Gruaud-larose. This Piece Was Classified As A Second Growth In 1855.

Control Of The Property Was Split Among Multiple Descendants, But The Property Remained Intact Until 1867 When It Was Split Into Château Gruaud-larose-sarget (After The Baron Sarget) And Château Gruaud-larose-faure (After Adrien Faure, Who Married One Sophie Bethmann, Heiress To A Portion Of The Estate).

The Two Châteaux Were Reunited By The Cordier Family, Who Purchased The Sarget Piece In 1917 And The Faure Piece In 1935; The Château Became A Centerpiece Of The Many Cordier Properties Along With Château Lafaurie-peyraguey And Château Talbot.
