Gloria

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 94.0

Château Gloria is a wine estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Médoc wine region, just north of the city of Bordeaux. In 1942 the estate was taken over by Henri Martin, who began to purchase pockets of vineyard from neighbouring Grand Crus estates, to include Léoville Barton, Talbot and Gruaud-Larose. In turn, Château Gloria has continued to benefit from Saint-Julien’s exceptional terroir. Its vineyards contain Cabernet Sauvignon (c.65%), Merlot (c.25%), Cabernet Franc (c.5%) and Petit Verdot (c.5%) and is aged in both large oak foudres and 50% new small oak barrels. The resulting wine features washes of high-quality tannins and is teaming with cassis and warm cedar notes. This is an excellent wine that will continue to develop with age.

William Kelley

An overperformer in the vintage, the 2017 Gloria exhibits attractive aromas of minty berries and cherries mingled with hints of baking chocolate and cigar wrapper. Medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with an ample core of juicy fruit framed by melting tannins, this is an elegant, seamless Saint-Julien that already drinks very well.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2017 Gloria is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of warm blackcurrants, baked blackberries and plums with cedar, earth and herbs hints. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy, soft and easy-breezy. The blend is 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 14 months in French oak, 40% new. About 65% of the production was produced as grand vin.
