It is widely regarded as a classic Saint-Julien wine, and is known for its sensible pricing. Most releases need 10 to 15 years to be appreciated at their best. The vineyard is situated southwest of the village of Beychevelle, on gravel banks sloping towards le Marais de Beychevelle, a marsh that separates Saint-Julien from the vineyards of the central Médoc. The soil is a mix of gravel, pebbles, sand, clay and humus over a subsoil of different clays, sand and pebbles. A total of 82 hectares (203 acres) are planted – 60 percent of vines are Cabernet Sauvignon, with 30 percent Merlot, 7 percent Cabernet Franc and 3 percent Petit Verdot. The proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon has risen in recent decades and there are plans to increase this to around 70 percent over coming years. In the winery, grapes are fermented in large wooden vats before aging in barrel for 18 months.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-08T12:23:58-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-01T03:15:12-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini0102","Other_Wine","producer_Chateau Gruaud-Larose","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":69899,"price_min":69899,"price_max":69899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42756408311946,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2009 | Chateau Gruaud-Larose | Saint-Julien","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":69899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/21_d392dd92-c305-4e59-b839-589a6250142a.png?v=1675239352"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/21_d392dd92-c305-4e59-b839-589a6250142a.png?v=1675239352","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2009 | Chateau Gruaud-Larose | Saint-Julien at CaskCartel.com","id":24127875711114,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.338,"height":867,"width":293,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/21_d392dd92-c305-4e59-b839-589a6250142a.png?v=1675239352"},"aspect_ratio":0.338,"height":867,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/21_d392dd92-c305-4e59-b839-589a6250142a.png?v=1675239352","width":293}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2009 | Chateau Gruaud-Larose | Saint-Julien\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis has good density, with fleshy blackberry and blueberry cobbler flavors laced with anise, sweet spice, and smoldering maduro tobacco notes.
