Since its creation, in 1725, four families have succeeded one another at the head of Gruaud Larose: the Gruaud and Larose families, the Balguerie and Sarget families, the Cordier family and the Merlaut family.

This family attachment has been passed on to the employees who often work at the chateau from father to son and from mother to daughter.

Grapes Blend : 49% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc

Deep purple-black color gives up vibrant notions of crushed blueberries, warm plums and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of mocha, spice cake and hoisin plus a waft of potpourri.

Medium to full-bodied with a backbone of finely grained tannins and just enough freshness, the palate delivers bags of juicy fruit, finishing spicy.
