Many people were surprised in the M\u00e9doc about this new construction. I must say that it denotes of the classical architecture in Bordeaux ! In Saint Emilion, the new modern architectures don’t really mix with the spirit of the city and Unesco said that there were not really happy about it ! But in the Medoc it’s different… The design is still rare but will become commonplace on the left bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So have you seen this new tour ? This is a Grand Cru Class\u00e9 which built it. My clients are a bit surprised when they see it. From a distance it’s a bit strange but when we visited it, it makes sense and customers are well satisfied ! The Second Grand Cru is located in Saint Julien and it’s the Ch\u00e2teau Gruaud Larose. Inaugurated in April 2015, this tower of 18 meters high is like a perch ! We can finally be like a bird and enjoy a breathtaking view. This project is an integral part of the \u0153notourism of the Ch\u00e2teau. At the bottom of the tower there is a glass and steel building overlooking a garden that welcomes visitors : wine bar, fountain spittoon, sofa, high table, store… All in white and red. It’s beautiful and so clean !

At the bottom left in the boutique, there is a lift and then another trip begins ! Focus on the second tower of the Ch\u00e2teau !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two towers … No, we’re not in the Lord of the Rings but in the prestigious appellation of Saint Julien on the left bank of Bordeaux. Smaller appellation than Margaux and Pauillac but incredibly classified (it holds the highest number of classified growths compared to its area size). Ch\u00e2teau Gruaud Larose is owned by the family Merlaut since 1997. Jean Merlaut appealed to Lanoire \u00a0and Courrian architectural firm to build this new project.

This is the twin\u00a0(almost) of the Abbot\u00a0Gruaud tower. Listed as a historic monument since 2012, it’s made out of stone. Before, you could visit this\u00a0tower. I remember that the view was also impressive but to climb\u00a0these\u00a0wooden stairs steep\u00a0was really difficult\u00a0! I told myself\u00a0that strong or elderly customers could not climb to the top. So now my wish comes true\u00a0with this new turn.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 300m2 surface\u00a0is divided into two parts. The shop downstairs so as I said first. 250m2 semi buried with a green roof ! Beautiful in any season ! The tower 18 meters high is beautiful. Curious with its external steel casing that looks like a snake skin ! This is actually golden\u00a0mirror polished stainless. At the top, a 50m2 terrace offers a breathtaking lansdcape. And it’s mind-blowing ! When we reach the top thanks to\u00a0the elevator, the\u00a0guide\u00a0opens the tower’s top\u00a0like the petals of flower. Mechanically, the steel pannels gets up and allows a\u00a0360\u00b0 panorama. A double staircase also allows the access to the tower and the exit via the garden that is the roof to the shop.

Vincent Lurton was in charge of the landscape : 3 ha with 135 varieties of plants.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Apr\u00e8s<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Ch\u00e2teau Gruaud Larose offers an interesting \u0153notourism choice. There’s something for every taste and every budget ! One can even make surprising encounters ! So go ahead and come see this curiosity which is at 45min north of Bordeaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
