SAINT JULIEN
The classed growths of St. Julien (of which there are a higher proportion than in any other commune) are made up of vineyards planted on the typical Médoc gravel, and situated in two camps; representatives of each are offered here. First there are the châteaux clustered around the town of St. Julien on the banks of the Gironde itself, of which the three Léovilles are the most prominent. To the south, the vineyards of numerous châteaux, including Gruaud-Larose, Beychevelle and Lagrange, all drain into the Jalle du Nord and the Chenal du Milieu. Regardless of where the châteaux are located, the wines they produce are stylistically (and geographically) somewhere between the exquisite, aromatic and elegant wines of Margaux, and the brilliant, powerful, and inspiring wines of Pauillac.
Château Gruaud-Larose--Vintage 1921
Saint-Julien, 2ème cru classé
Levels: two top shoulder; short embossed lead capsules with château and vintage visible on cork, heavily scuffed, soiled and partially illegible labels
