Chateau Gruaud Larose 2020
#25 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023
Gruaud Larose recognizes the crucial role terroir plays in producing a fine wine, particularly in the Medoc where a microclimate encourages the expression of the vine. Not only does soil limit water retention, but the dry climate in the area’s summer months leads to optimal grape ripening. Additionally, the east and west winds help shield the grape from perishing. The weather’s effect on the final product is variable, yet the human factor remains a constant; from the Gruaud Larose founders to the hardworking employees today, the families who have stewarded Gruaud Larose make it what it is.
