Château Gruaud Larose wines
The estate offers two red wines. Château Gruaud Larose, Second Grand Cru Classé, is a powerful, well-structured wine with notes of red fruit. Renowned oenologist Éric Boissenot ensures that Château Gruaud Larose is one of Bordeaux's finest red wines. This is a wine for laying down, to be cellared for several years. The estate's second wine, Sarget de Gruaud Larose, is made with the same expertise as the Grand Cru. Tasting this second wine offers fruity and spicy notes.
