2010 Château Gloria, St-Julien

2010 Château Gloria, St-Julien

Open and expressive on the nose, with classic notes of cassis coming through. On the palate this is beautifully pure, with delicious crunchy black fruit characters to the fore. This dark fruit nature is melded with silky-fine tannins, making this a supple, well-balanced and charming Gloria.

Château Gloria

Château Gloria offers Bordeaux drinkers classed-growth quality St-Julien without the price tag. It is the result of founder Henri Martin’s ambition to own a classed growth. During the 1940s he started putting together small parcels of vines, starting with 0.6 hectares from Château Lynch-Bages. Henri only purchased from existing classed growths and his estate gradually formed from châteaux including Léoville-Poyferré, Ducru-Beaucaillou, Léoville-Barton, Duhart-Milon and Gruaud-Larose. Although unclassified, the quality of the soils and vines is clear. Henri went on to realise his dream, taking ownership of Grand Cru Classé Château St-Pierre in 1981, running both properties in tandem. Gloria is now run by Henri’s daughter Françoise and her husband Jean-Louis Triaud, who have undertaken significant renovations and investment, completely overhauling the winemaking facilities in 2015 and Château Gloria continues to go from strength to strength.
