2024, Château Gloria, SAINT-JULIEN, Cru Bourgeois

Last year EP $50.00-

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc.

The 2024 Gloria is soft, fruity and very easy to like. Sweet red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, lavender and mocha are nicely pushed forward. Gloria is very nicely balanced. It's a real charmer in 2024. 89-91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2025).

Medium to full intensity deep plum colour, lovely spice, textured graphite, pumice, powerful and sculpted bright fruits, this is thoroughly enjoyable, a real success in a vintage. Triaud family owners, 34 hl/ha yield. 93 Jane Anson, janeanson.com (2025).

Aromas of blackberries, cassis and toasty oak introduce the 2024 Gloria, a medium-bodied, lively wine built around youthfully chalky tannins. 88-90 William Kelley, Wine Advocate (2025).

Highly perfumed aromatics. Full and filling for the vintage, massy tannins have a lovely texture - chewy but fine and cool too, giving a gentle bounce to this expression with crystalline fruit and lovely mineral edges. This has a glossy feel, ripe and concentrated fruit with a perfectly sculpted frame. Feels very classy and full of sweet and lifted acidity. Great stuff here. Love this. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Tasted twice. 93 Georgina Hindle, Decanter (2025).

Drinking Window: 2030 - 2050
