Sarget De Gruaud Larose 2018 (1x75cl)

The 2018 Sarget de Gruaud Larose represents the meticulous winemaking philosophy of its esteemed parent estate, Château Gruaud Larose, a Second Growth from the Saint-Julien appellation. Sourced from younger vines and specific parcels within the same exceptional terroir, this second wine benefits from identical viticultural care and cellar expertise. The 2018 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by a warm, dry growing season, yielding wines of significant ripeness, concentration, and structure. This expression of Saint-Julien typicity offers a harmonious balance of power and elegance, reflecting the gravelly soils and maritime influence characteristic of the Médoc.

Tasting notes

On the nose, the 2018 Sarget de Gruaud Larose presents an aromatic profile of dark berries, cassis, and plum, interwoven with subtle notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a hint of graphite. The palate is medium to full-bodied, displaying a core of ripe fruit supported by firm yet refined tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries through to a persistent finish. Layers of blackcurrant and cherry mingle with nuances of spice and a touch of earthy minerality, culminating in a well-defined and elegant expression of Saint-Julien.
