Château Gloria 2010 is a mature-vintage, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the St-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. Created by Henri Martin over the course of several decades, Château Gloria is a Saint-Julien property whose vineyards stretch over approximately 50 hectares across several plots, including in Beychevelle, in the north on the border with Pauillac, and in the west of Saint-Julien. "Cocoa bean, bilberry, cassis, espresso, smoked earth, campfire, chunky tannins that put the emphasis on dark Petit Verdot spice. It`s a St Julien wine that has hints of Pauillac, where you feel the shoulders, the structure and the chewy tannins but there is a generosity and again this sparkle of cheer underpinning it all that Gloria does so well. Plenty of time ahead. 40% new oak, harvest September 29 to October 16. 46hl/h yield, from a year that saw both quality and quantity." Jane Anson, 2022
