Description
Château Gloria, Saint-Julien
vintage: 2015
varietals: Cabernets, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Medium purple in colour, this has a smoky mulberry and blackberry fruit nose. The palate is crunchy with vibrant, juicy red cherry fruit and a little toasted charcoal character from smoky new oak.
This Chateau was created in the 1950’s by the late Henri Martin who was also the regisseur of Chateau Latour. Consequently it does not appear in the 1855 classification but surely would, if it were ever updated. Along with big brother Saint Pierre, the quality here has improved massively in the last few years and this is a top St Julien performer these days.
