Château Gloria is a 118-acre estate in St.- Julien, Bordeaux. The estate is “unclassified” because it was founded after the 1855 official classification of Bordeaux estates. The estate was established in 1942 by Henri Martin, a native of the area and a one-time mayor of St.-Julien, who in his 40s purchased 15 acres of vineyards. Château Gloria is now run by his son-in-law, Jean-Louis Triad.

Nose is smokey earth, baking spice, and a slight peppermint note. Very complex, raspberry jam and cherry pits—with secondary notes and flavors like mushrooms and Worcester sauce. Soft tannins and fine acid.
