Vinification for the second wine of Gruaud Larose, Sarget de Gruaud Larose, takes place in a mixture of wooden vats and cement tanks and the wine is aged in oak barriques (30% new) for 18 months. It can be chewy when young but develops very attractively over time and shows a core of black fruit with complex accents of spice.
