Grand Rois

1989 Saint Julien Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Chateau Gruaud Larose Grand Rois from the renowned Saint Julien region is a remarkable red wine that beautifully showcases the classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. This vintage from 1989 is characterized by its full-bodied structure, revealing a harmony of ripe fruit flavors complemented by elegant tannins that provide a firm backbone. The acidity is high, bringing a vibrant liveliness to the wine, while the fruit intensity is prominent, with expressive notes of dark berries and plums intermingled with hints of spice and cedar. The wine has a dry profile, allowing the complexity of flavors to shine through and creating an inviting mouthfeel that lingers long after each sip. Enjoying this exquisite vintage is truly a delightful experience, reflecting both the character of its varietals and the exceptional terroir of Saint Julien.
