This estate itself was established in 1882 when Georges Gurchy and his wife bought and combined three small vineyards totalling 15 hectares (37 acres). The château building and cellars were built three years later in 1885. Decades later, Georges Gurchy's granddaughter married a Doctor Meslin, and the estate remains under the ownership and management of the Meslin family. The estate was named a Grand Cru Classé in the original 1955 Saint-Émilion classification. It has retained this status throughout each successive iteration (the classification is reviewed roughly every decade) of the classification. The estate now encompasses 27 hectares (67 acres) of vines on silica-clay soils surrounding the château. Plantings are 68 percent Merlot with 26 percent Cabernet Franc, and six percent Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate wines are fermented and aged in a mix of concrete cuves, stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Aging for the grand vin takes place in cuve and barrel, 70 percent of which are new oak. As well as the eponymous grand vin, a second wine – La Fleur Laroze – is produced. A third wine, Lady Laroze, was introduced with the 2010 vintage to celebrate the owning family's 400th anniversary making wine in Saint-Émilion. Annual production totals around 110,000 bottles, of which 80,000 is the grand vin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-19T12:50:36-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-16T20:40:46-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Laroze","Region_Bordeaux","RK150324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":181300,"price_min":181300,"price_max":181300,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44497002823818,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"1998 | Château Laroze | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":181300,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/68_af365ea3-941f-4f0f-bedf-a9ee8a27e85d.png?v=1710636171"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/68_af365ea3-941f-4f0f-bedf-a9ee8a27e85d.png?v=1710636171","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1998 | Château Laroze | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru at CaskCartel.com","id":26490241384586,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.287,"height":394,"width":113,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/68_af365ea3-941f-4f0f-bedf-a9ee8a27e85d.png?v=1710636171"},"aspect_ratio":0.287,"height":394,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/68_af365ea3-941f-4f0f-bedf-a9ee8a27e85d.png?v=1710636171","width":113}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1998 | Château Laroze | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFuller in body than most St Emilions – almost Pomerol-like in its weight and integrated sweet vanilla oak flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Château Laroze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bordeaux Blend Red \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Bordeaux\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFuller in body than most St Emilions – almost Pomerol-like in its weight and integrated sweet vanilla oak flavours.
