2014 Château Gloria, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Ch. Gloria, the lesser relation to classed growth Ch. Saint-Pierre in the H. Martin portfolio, has provided true to form a well-crafted, neat 2014 which displays cool, bright red fruit that will make very good drinking. A fine opportunity to enjoy a St. Julien.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5+/20
Bright crimson. Refined salty-savoury nose. Aromatic and sweetly fresh. Racy and lightly grainy. Lots of freshness but no excess acidity. Light tannic charge on the end with a rich peacock’s tail finish. Full of charm. Real drive to this wine. jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com - Mar 2015

Exuberant, spicy black fruits – rich and ripe with a hint of leather. Has vigour and depth, will open up soon but last well.

The 2014 Gloria has a powerful bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry and cedarforthright and demonstrative. The palate is structured and quite masculine, a light marine influence filtering through, but just missing a little complexity on the second half, where I would like to see more Cabernet expression. Perhaps this is one Saint Julien where I expected more. Tasted twice with consistent notes.Neil Martin - 31/03/2017

About this wine

Chateau Gloria

Château Gloria is an unclassified St-Julien property that produces clarets that equal in quality those from the more prestigious classed growths. Henri Martin, a cooper by upbringing, took over the property in 1942 and began purchasing plots of vineyards from classed growth properties such as Gruaud-Larose, Talbot, Lagrange and Léoville-Barton. By the mid 1960s he had 50 hectares spread across the appellation. In 1982 he purchased Château St-Pierre and thus realised his lifetime ambition of owning a Grand Cru Classé property.
