Château Gloria is built mainly from pieces of classified-growth vineyards, but it carries no classification itself. Its home, Saint-Julien, is the smallest of the Médoc's major appellations and has the highest concentration of 1855 classified growths. Henri Martin registered the Gloria name in 1942 and put the estate together parcel by parcel. That same year he made his first major purchase: six hectares from Château Duhart-Milon. He picked the name because he pictured a choir, with many vineyard voices singing as one wine. Today Gloria is the largest unclassified estate in Saint-Julien, and it has outperformed plenty of classified growths along the way. That makes it the smart pick for anyone who cares more about what's in the glass than what's on the 1855 list. Martin's daughter Françoise and son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud keep his approach going, and this 2005 is a dry red from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. (A bit of trivia: a 1976 magazine story called "The Miracle of Château Gloria" set off a rush for these wines in America.)

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic, ribeye with bordelaise sauce, duck breast with cherries, beef Wellington, or a plate of aged Comté and aged Gouda.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Saint-Julien profile: blackcurrant and dark cherry with cedar, graphite and a hint of tobacco. Typically full-bodied but polished, with firm, fine-grained Cabernet Sauvignon tannins, fresh acidity and a long, dry, savoury finish. It's a style built to age, picking up earthy, leathery notes with time in bottle.
