    Château Gloria

    Château Gloria

    Those looking to buy the Classified Growths of Bordeaux without the price tag should look no further than Château Gloria. Unlike most Bordeaux estates with a rich history, Château Gloria is an infant by Bordeaux standards and was founded by Henri Martin, who came from a family involved in the wine trade. Around 1942, he made his first purchase – a 6-hectare plot of vines in Saint-Julien that previously belonged to Château Beychevelle. Over the next few decades, Henri patiently and painstakingly acquired parcels of vines and eventually cobbled together 44 hectares – most of which came from Classified Growth estates, into Château Gloria. Though Château Gloria is outside of the classification of 1855 (because it had not come into existence!), it is every inch a classic, true Saint-Julien. The wines are age-worthy and reliable with the character of each individual vintage showing through in the best ways possible.

    Licorice, blackberry and fresh cèpe on the nose. Full and velvety-textured, with lots of fruit and a long, caressing finish. Pretty and rich. The best Gloria in years. Best after 2014. 18,000 cases made. -JS

    Rich and decadent on the nose, with exotic fruits, spices and incense. Full body, with so much wonderful chocolate, fruit and velvety tannins. It's a joy to taste now, but will give even more pleasure in years to come. Best ever from here and one of the best values of the vintage. Try after 2018.

    Vinous - Neal Martin (94)

    The 2010 Gloria has a very attractive and quite intense bouquet with a surfeit of blackberry and wild strawberry scents, cedar and light seaweed coming through with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit, laced with black pepper and clove. Very complex, very focused and very precise on the finish, this is an outstanding 2010 Saint-Julien. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

    Tasted blind. Complex nose with savoury layers. Aromatic ink. Smooth and polished. Lovely balance with really lively energy. Nothing forced. Very long. Almost pretty!

    James Suckling (94-95)

    Very focused and poised with blackberry, blackcurrant and graphite character. It’s full-to medium-bodied with racy tannins and a long, dynamic finish. Will be interesting to see if 2020 is better than 2019.
