{"product_id":"chateau-gloria-saint-julien-2017-750ml","title":"Chateau Gloria, Saint Julien, 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is this wine?\n\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Gloria is a unique Left Bank estate: unlike most classified growths in Saint-Julien, it was created in the mid-20th century by Henri Martin, who pieced together parcels from top classified vineyards. Today it is considered one of the appellation’s finest “unclassified” châteaux, consistently punching above its weight. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, grown on the gravelly soils that define Saint-Julien. The 2017 vintage, while smaller in scale than 2016 or 2018, produced elegant, balanced wines with earlier approachability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy get this wine?\n\u003cbr\u003eGloria offers classified-growth quality without the classified-growth price. Its style captures Saint-Julien’s signature balance between Pauillac power and Margaux finesse. The 2017 is already drinking beautifully, making it a smart buy for those who want classic Bordeaux character without the need for long cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does this wine taste like?\n\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied, with blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum layered over cedar, graphite, and spice. Silky tannins and bright acidity keep it polished and fresh, with a clean, savory finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen should you drink this wine?\n\u003cbr\u003eLovely now with a short decant, but it will hold well through 2030. Pairs well with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, or earthy mushroom dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TWINS Bordeaux, America [FOV] [TBA]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44846008303673,"sku":"NYC-FOV] [TBA-`LY10-0414-17`-090525-9","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Chateau-Gloria-Saint-Julien-2017-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_9e1414db.jpg?v=1784040111","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/chateau-gloria-saint-julien-2017-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
