A wine that drinks like a classified growth because it's built from them. Henri Martin started Gloria from scratch in 1942, assembling it parcel by parcel almost entirely from vineyards of 1855 classified estates in Saint-Julien and Pauillac. The 1855 list simply predates the estate, so despite carrying no classification, Gloria drinks well above its station. The 2015 is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, from a warm, generous vintage that gave broad, giving wines with polished tannins. Now run by Martin's family alongside their classified Chateau Saint-Pierre, this is elegant, ageworthy Saint-Julien. Drinking well now and through the late 2030s.

Robert Parker

91 points

"A notable success in the vintage, the 2015 Gloria exhibits aromas of sweet dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate. Impressively concentrated and seamless, it's built around ripe, powdery tannins that are so supple that the wine can already be approached with pleasure." —William Kelley

Decanter

90 points

"Fine, fragrant nose and succulent fruit. It has a lovely texture, rounded tannins and fresh finish, with more finesse than in past years."

Wine Spectator

93 points

"Well-steeped plum, fig and boysenberry fruit is richly layered, supported by embedded brambly grip and backed by waves of ganache and sweet tobacco on the finish. This has plenty of energy to carry it in the cellar while it rounds into form."

Wine Enthusiast

"One of two classed-growth estates in St-Julien owned by the descendants of Henri Martin, this estate has been renovated and the results show in this well-crafted wine. Ripe tannins are balanced by smoky blackberry fruits and pure, clean acidity." —Roger Voss

More about Chateau Gloria

Saint-Julien's unclassified treasure. Henri Martin assembled this 45-hectare estate starting in 1942, and it outperforms many classified growths ever since. His daughter Françoise and son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud keep the formula alive—charming, elegant, age-worthy.
