Note di degustazione
The second wine of the Château, the 2024 Château Gruaud Larose Sarget is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, and the balance equal parts Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, with the élevage spanning 12 months with the majority in used barrels. It's a forward, charming effort with perfumed red and black cherries, leafy herbs, and a kiss of graphite on the nose. It's medium-bodied, has a soft, supple, layered mouthfeel, no hard edges, and a good finish.

A blend of 46% Merlot and 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2024 Sarget de Gruaud Larose is a medium-bodied, tangy red redolent of cassis and petals. Pretty, pure and a touch acid-driven, it checks in at just under 12.5% alcohol.
A slightly subdued opening, focus on savoury redcurrant and raspberry fruit, fine tannins with precision and balance, enjoyable. Harvest 27 September to 8 October. 3.55 pH, 31hl/h yield, slap bang on the appellation average, organic certified. Around 55% of overall production in this wine.
The 2024 Sarget de Gruaud Larose is a bold, juicy second wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Succulent red cherry/plum fruit and sweet spice notes are pushed forward. Soft contours wrap it all together while pretty floral accents lift the finish. This mid-weight Saint-Julien is a delight.
