The Wine
Henri Martin, mayor of Saint-Julien, created Château Gloria in the late 1940s from vineyards he bought from the prestigious châteaux of Léoville Poyferré, Gruaud Larose and Saint Pierre. As a consequence, Château Gloria’s wines remain without their proper status, while each vintage they surpass many of the classified growths. After Henri's death in 1991, his son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud continued the family tradition of exemplary winemaking, receiving high marks each vintage from critics worldwide. James Suckling described it as having, “Excellent depth for 2021. Refined and complex”, while Wine Advocate called it, “medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless palate”. A wine that will benefit from cellaring or opening early and decanting.
