Château Gloria 2019 (Saint-Julien)

Château Gloria has one of the most unusual histories in the Médoc. Henri Martin spent decades piecing it together parcel by parcel, acquiring classified-growth plots and assembling them into an estate that was never part of the 1855 Classification yet performs like one.

The 2019 shows Gloria at its best. Generous fruit, polished tannins and that Saint-Julien balance of power and charm. It’s a label that always punches above its rank, and the vintage gives it an especially festive glow.
