Gruaud Larose has always tried to give value to the role of man in the creation of its elixir;

both to his work and to the bond established with the vineyard.

The vine stocks and the grapes are nothing without man, without these makers of Crus, from the most modest to the most powerful.

Since its creation, in 1725, four families have succeeded one another at the head of Gruaud Larose: the Gruaud & Larose families, the Balguerie and Sarget families, the Cordier family and the Merlaut family.

This family attachment has been passed on to the employees who often work at the Château from father to son and from mother to daughter.

Agroecology 

Agroecology is a set of agricultural theories and practices nourished and inspired both by knowledge of ecology and agricultural science. Thus, by applying agroecological principles to our production, we want to design a sustainable ecosystem.

In this system, we rely as much as possible on nature as a factor of production. Agroecology reintroduces diversity into agricultural production systems, restores a diverse landscape mosaic and the role of biodiversity as an enhanced factor of production.

Organic and biodynamic agriculture 

Since the vintage 2019, we have been implementing the measures necessary for the conversion to Organic Farming. We also use Biodynamic tools and practices: use of herbal teas from different plants as alternatives to the fight against certain parasites or supply of trace minerals to vines.
