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 has continued the family tradition of exemplary winemaking, receiving high marks each vintage from critics worldwide. Antonio Galloni called the 2017 "At once deep and fleshy, but also beautifully delineated, the 2017 is incredibly satisfying. Potent Saint Julien that delivers the goods." Open early and decant, or cellar. It's a classic with roast meats.

"An explosive, potent Saint-Julien that delivers the goods, and then some. Don't miss it" Antonio Galloni
