Ref: A034501
Cru Bourgeois St Julien

Full of sweet,opulent fruit with plenty of tannin. Still a little closed but beginning to show its true colours. Drink 2010 - 2017.

Henri Martin, Gloria's owner and once Mayor of Saint Julien was one of Médoc's legendary figures. In 1956 he became President of the Interprofessional Committee of Bordeaux Wines. Beginning in the 1940's, Henri Martin assembled the vineyards of Château Gloria with parcels of land from such neighbouring vineyards as Léoville-Poyferré, Gruaud-Larose, Saint Pierre and Duhart-Milon. The property is now run and managed by his son-in-law, Jean-Louis Triaud.

The wine is fermented in stainless steel vats and spends 16 months in barrels producing round, generous, rich, long-lasting wines with cedary and spicy bouquets. The wine of Château Gloria shows well young, and also ages well.
The 1995 is fat andripe which emphasises its opulence and charm. Cabernet Sauvignon 65% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc 5% Petit Verdot 5%
