Château Gloria - 2003 - Château Gloria
Ref: A034503
Cru Bourgeois St Julien

This is the finest modern Gloria we have tasted with enticing black fruit aromas that lead you into a multi-layered, dense and textured fruit-driven palate. There is a vibrant aicidity and a backdrop of leather and cedarwood. Drink 2008 - 2018.

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 1996 is robust and weighty with a good concentration of ripe and rounded fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon 65% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc 5% Petit Verdot 5%

Price: £33.85
