Wine Enthusiast 93

The second wine of Chateau Gloria, this shows some of the same richness and style as the top wine. It is a dense wine with a fine balance between succulent acidity and elegant black currant fruits.

Technical Details

Description

Henri Martin’s lifetime achievement was no doubt the creation of Château Gloria. Row by row he patiently and systematically negotiated with his friends in the commune of Saint-Julien to buy these various “cru classé” parcels to eventually make up the Château Gloria estate. So why isn’t the Château a “cru classé”? The answer is simple: it didn’t exist at the time of the 1855 classification. This Saint-Julien Château nevertheless lives up to its name as one of the top producers in the region today. Esprit de Gloria is the second wine of the estate made from the younger vines. It reflects the typicity of the Saint-Julien appellation and may be enjoyed younger. It is an excellent introduction to the beauty of Saint-Julien.

Tasting notes

A wonderful, harmonious bouquet of copious blackberry, briary, cedar and tobacco notes that just feels so effortless. The very harmonious palate offers pure black fruit laced with graphite. Displaying moderate weight and fine acidity, and quite linear and focused on the finish.
