Chateau Gloria 2019 Saint Julien - Magnum/1.5L

Château Gloria 2019 is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), supplemented with Merlot (34%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petit Verdot (5%).

Founded by Henri Martin, Chateau Gloria is one of the most iconic properties of the Saint Julian appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. The singularity of this estate lies in the strength of its vineyard, meticulously assembled by Henri Martin through the acquisition of several vine plots from the Classified Growths. Located in the AOC Saint Julien, the Château Gloria vineyard covers 50 hectares of vines. The plantings are dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), supplemented by Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (5%). The Henri Martin estates, including Château Gloria, have earned the ISO 140001 and HVE3 certifications. The vineyard of Château Gloria is cultivated with the principles of sustainable viticulture with organic and bio-control products.

While it was never classified in 1855, this estate produces wines that can equal those of its more prestigious neighbors. A wine that is rich, structured and likely to develop over the medium-term. This is an elegant, tasty, medium to full-bodied cru bourgeois and possesses aromas of cedar wood, black currants, licorice, and a hint of tapenade.  The wines are rich in colour, with a complex aromatic expression marked by notes of ripe fruit, while the palate has a beautiful definition and great structure. With a soft, lovely texture, it will drink well for 7-10 years.
