Château GRUAUD LAROSE 1999
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.
Gruaud-Larose is a Second Classified Growth in 1855. The vineyard covers 82 hectares, the terroir is made up of gravel from the Garonne.
The 1999 vintage underwent a contrasting climate: the first three months were marked by temperatures above normal for the season for an early and abundant vintage.
