Château Gruaud Larose 2017

Red wine | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Julien AC

Gruaud Larose has always sought to promote the place of man in the design of his wine. Both in action and in the link he establishes with his vineyard. The vine, the grapes are nothing without man, without the makers of the wines, from the most modest to the most powerful.

    Jean-Marc Quarin
    Dark, intense and beautiful color. Fine, fruity, pure and subtle nose. Caressing attack, suave development, very fruity and tasty. The wine slides towards a finish with a taste of black fruits and fine tannins. Very well constructed, it ends at a good length.

    Yves Beck
    Bright garnet red with purple reflections. Elegant, fine, complex bouquet with scents of raspberries and strawberries. Touch of black pepper and cinnamon. Allowed to breathe, I also notice pleasant notes of blackberries. Lots of elegance in attack with a delicious touch and freshness. The structure is distinguished and in harmony with powerful tannins which reveal themselves in a crescendo and gaining breadth along the palate. A wine of character, which will have to be approached slowly. This is not really new in Gruaud-Larose. Lingering finish. To be followed carefully. 2024–2042

    James Suckling
    A firm and silky young red with an attractive center palate of fruit and hints of cedar. Fresh, tight and compacted.

    Decanter
    This is a firm, well-placed cassis and redcurrant expression, ripe enough to highlight some of the best qualities of a classic St-Julien vintage, but not quite hitting its stride. Still, it has a lovely floral character and a fine tannic structure. An attractive, carefully expressed Gruaud Larose with lots to enjoy. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038
