Essential St. Julien. Varied in aromatic and flavour range, harmonious in the alcohol-extract-acid relationship, balanced, juicy and yet powerful enough. All that remains is to wait for the finish - it's there, intense but smoothly polished, with great persistence.

Château Gruaud Larose
Château Gruaud Larose se nachází v apelaci Saint-Julien a je zařazené jako 2. Cru v Bordeauxské klasifikaci z roku 1855. Víno z tohoto Chateau je známé pro svou rozumnou cenu.
Vinařství založil jistý Gruaud, avšak dobrou pověst pro toto vinařství získal až jeho synovec Larose. V 19. století byla usedlost rozdělena na dvě poloviny a v roce 1935 zase spojena. Roku 1993 pak chateau přešlo do vlastnictví průmyslového gigantu Alcatel -Alsthom a roku 1997 ho zakoupila rodina obchodníka s vínem Bernarda Taillana Vinse.
Samotná usedlost zabírá více než 120 ha, z nichž je skoro 100 ha osázená révou. Zajímavostí tohoto vinařství je, že vlastní zařízení proti krupobití – sonické dělo, které tu a tam vystřelí nad vinice.
Château Gruaud Larose is located in the Saint-Julien appellation and is classified as 2nd Cru in the Bordeaux classification of 1855. The wine from this château is known for its reasonable price.
The winery was founded by a certain Gruaud, but its good reputation was only achieved by his nephew Larose. In the 19th century, the estate was divided into two halves, and in 1935 it was reunited. In 1993, the château was acquired by the industrial giant Alcatel-Alsthom, and in 1997 it was purchased by the family of wine merchant Bernard Taillan.
The estate itself covers more than 120 hectares, of which almost 100 hectares are planted with vines. An interesting fact about this winery is that it owns equipment to protect against hail—a sonic cannon that occasionally fires over the vineyards.
