A rich and delicate red wine from Saint-Julien
The estate
Created by Henri Martin, the Château Gloria is one of the most emblematic properties of the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. The originality of this estate lies in the strength of its vineyard, meticulously constituted by Henri Martin through the acquisition of vineyard plots from Grands Crus Classés in 1855.
The vineyard
Château Gloria 2023 is a Saint-Julien wine whose vineyard extends over an area of 50 hectares. The grape variety is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The Henri Martin estates, including Château Gloria, benefit from ISO 140001 and HVE3 certification. In organic conversion, the Château Gloria vineyard is subject to reasoned cultivation with the use of organic and bio-control products as well as biodynamic practices.
The vintage
A winter with seasonal temperatures gives way to a spring marked by frosts that do not impact the vineyard, as well as a mix of high temperatures and stormy episodes. These conditions favour rapid vegetative development, just like flowering. The mildew pressure, following the conditions at the end of spring and beginning of summer, is contained thanks to the rigorous work of the teams. The relative coolness recorded in mid-July precedes a mixed start to August with a heatwave stretching until mid-October, during which the know-how of the estate ensures the maintenance of the vineyard's health.
Vinification and ageing
Given the climatic conditions of this vintage, the vinifications (extraction, temperature, maceration time) are adapted according to each plot. The ageing is carried out in barrels (of which 40% are new).
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (35%), Petit Verdot (10%) and Cabernet Franc (5%).
