Founded by Henri Martin, Château Gloria is an iconic reference among fine Saint Julien wines, an appellation situated on the left bank of Bordeaux. This estate’s distinctiveness lies in its strong vineyard, meticulously built up by Henri Martin through the acquisition of plots of vines from 1855 Grands Crus Classés.

Located in the Saint-Julien AOC, Chateau Gloria’s vineyard spreads across 50 hectares of vines. The vineyard is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The Henri Martin estates, including Château Gloria, bear the ISO 140001 and HVE3 certificates. Château Gloria’s vineyard is managed in a reasoned manner with the use of organic products and bio-control.

Tasting Notes

Shows a flash of mint before giving way to a torrent of blueberry, blackberry and cassis flavours, pushed by energetic acidity and juicy, brambly grip. Plum cake and anise line the finish, along with hints of tobacco.

Press Review

Wine Advocate 93/100
"The 2017 Gloria is comprised of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot aged 14 months in 42% new and 58% one-year-old French oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, it sings of plum preserves, warm cassis and dark chocolate with touches of tobacco, bay leaves and lavender with a waft of dusty soil. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and savory in the mouth with loads of layers and a lifted finish."

Press Review 2

"What a gorgeous and supple young wine with ultra-fine tannins and vivid acidity. Medium to full body and direct and driven tannins. Shows such beauty. Better in 2020 but already beautiful." Score: 94 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, February 2018
