2019 Château Gloria Saint-Julien
£42.00
“The 2019 Gloria has a compelling nose: black fruit, crushed rocks, tobacco and very subtle marine scents that are all beautifully combined. Perhaps the most precise and delineated nose among an impressive array of Saint-Julien’s this year. The palate is medium-bodied with a lively opening. A touch of soy infuses the black fruit; fine-boned with wonderful sapidity on the finish. Extraordinary length. Serious.”
96 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Complex nose with savoury layers. Aromatic ink. Smooth and polished. Lovely balance with really lively energy. Nothing forced. Very long. Almost pretty!”

Product Description
Gloria is a creation story, beginning in the late 1930s with a single hectare of land. It is a
rare entrepreneurial triumph that spanned the working lifetime of one man.
Parcel by parcel, Henri Martin would craft a splendid legacy, and reshape the face of the Saint-Julien appellation. By acquiring land primarily from the most revered 1855 Classified Growths, he would guarantee a quality worthy of the name he dreamt of.
Today, Gloria radiates the ambition, devotion and joyful energy that he poured into his vineyards. And while the estate could never re-write the historic classification, Henri Martin would mischievously raise his glass ’to the most classified estate in Saint-Julien’.
