Chateau Gruaud Larose, Saint-Julien-Beychevelle
18th-century chateau producing 2eme Cru Classé wine
This estate, located in Saint-Julien, has been cultivating vines since the 18th century. Their current varieties include the typical Bordeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, with which they produce a Second Cru Classé.
This chateau, currently under the ownership of the Merlaut family, yields not only the famous Cru Classé, classified in 1855, but also a second red wine.
The estate can be visited, and they offer a wide variety of tours and tastings. The essential tour includes a visit to the castle's tower, the vines, winemaking facilities and wine tasting. You can also walk through their vast estate through the white path, learning more about the cultivation of grapes. They also offer pairings of their wines with cheese or chocolate, tastings of their vintages, wine tasting and cookery courses, and a harvest workshop sharing the table with grape pickers. Additionally, they organise events.
