is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Sarget de Gruaud Larose’s 2020 Saint-Julien is a striking expression of Bordeaux, showcasing the power and elegance that this renowned appellation is known for. As the second wine of Château Gruaud Larose, it embodies the estate’s commitment to quality, with a blend of ripe fruit, soft tannins, and a touch of complexity from oak aging.
The nose opens with rich aromas of blackberries, cassis, and plums, accented by hints of tobacco, cedar, and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with smooth tannins providing structure and balance, while the acidity adds freshness. The fruit is ripe and concentrated, and the subtle oak influence adds depth without overpowering the wine’s character. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy nuances.
This Bordeaux pairs beautifully with roasted meats, grilled lamb, or aged cheeses. While it is approachable now, the 2020 vintage has the potential to age gracefully, revealing more complexity and depth as it matures.
