Château Gruaud-Larose has been one of the best wine estates in the Saint Julien appellation for many years. The first part of the name comes from a local priest named Joseph Stanislas Gruaud, the first owner of the Château. Back then, in the 1750s, the winery was already known for the quality of its wines. After his death in 1771, the property passed to his son-in-law, named Joseph-Sébastien de Larose. He ensured that the wines, from 1791, were marketed under the name Gruaud-Larose.
After being sold by auction, the winery came into the hands of two men (Jean Auguste Sarget & Pierre Balguerie-Stuttenberg) in the early 19th century, who jointly decided to split the domain into 'Chateau Gruaud-Larose Sarget' and 'Chateau Gruaud Larose Faure Finally, in 1935, the Cordier family ensures that Chateau Gruaud-Larose Sarget and Chateau Gruaud Larose Faure become one again by purchasing both individual domains.
