Chateau Gloria Saint-Julien 2021

Dating back to 1942, Chateau Gloria was created by Henri Martin who bought hecatres located near Chateau Beychevelle. Known for its earlier drinking capability, the 2011 vintage is no exception. Currently the estate is 50 hectares planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc on gravel and clay soils of the Left Bank.

94 Points James Suckling
Excellent depth for 2021. Refined and complex with aromas of graphite, cassis, mineral, chili chocolate, white pepper and cigar box. Fresh and juicy, with fine, polished tannins. Long, refined and nuanced. Medium body. Fine tannins. An overachiever for the vintage. Drink or hold.

93 Points Vinous Media
The 2021 Gloria, which contains a healthy slug of Petit Verdot (14%), has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherries, bilberry, cedar and crushed violet scents, almost Margaux-like in style. The oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry. This is quite a "vertical" Gloria, conservative in some ways, yet it does not compensate in terms of precision on the finish, and it feels reassuringly long on the aftertaste. There’s good potential here.
