History of Sarget de Gruaud Larose
Sarget de Gruaud Larose is the second wine from the famous Château Gruaud-Larose winery, located in the Bordeaux wine region of France. To understand the history of Sarget de Gruaud Larose, it is important to know the history of its parent vineyard, Château Gruaud-Larose.
Château Gruaud-Larose is one of the oldest and most renowned estates in the Saint-Julien appellation, which is located in the Médoc region on the left bank of the Gironde, an area renowned for its high-quality red wines. The estate has a long history dating back to the 17th century. It takes its name from the Gruaud and Larose families, who have owned the estate at different times.
Sarget de Gruaud Larose was created as the second wine of Château Gruaud-Larose. Second wines are made from grapes from the same vineyard as the first wine, but they are generally made from younger plots or from grapes that do not meet the strict quality criteria of the first wine. However, this does not mean that second wines are of inferior quality. In fact, they are often of excellent quality and offer a more affordable option for wine lovers. Sarget de Gruaud Larose takes its name from Lieutenant-Colonel Sarget, who owned the estate in the 19th century. The decision to create a second wine allowed the estate to select the best grapes for the first wine, while using the rest to produce a superior wine that retains the distinctive characteristics of Château Gruaud-Larose.
Gruaud-Larose wines, including Sarget de Gruaud Larose, are renowned for their structure, complexity and ability to age well in bottle. They are mainly made from classic Bordeaux grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. All in all, Sarget de Gruaud Larose is an exceptional second wine that allows wine lovers to discover the quality and distinctive style of Château Gruaud-Larose without having to invest in the often more expensive first wine. This second wine is an excellent option for those wishing to enjoy a great Bordeaux wine at a more affordable price.
