Château Gloria is a 118-acre estate in St.- Julien, Bordeaux. The estate is “unclassified” because it was founded after the 1855 official classification of Bordeaux estates. The estate was established in 1942 by Henri Martin, a native of the area and a one-time mayor of St.-Julien, who in his 40s purchased 15 acres of vineyards. Martin bought more property over the years, and building. He died in 1982 but Château Gloria is now run by his son-in-law, Jean-Louis Triad. Before his death Martin also bought Château St.-Pierre. Vineyards are planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% each Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. About 200,000 bottles are produced annually. The second wine is Château Peymartin. Robert M. Parker Jr. calls Gloria’s wines “always soundly made and consistently reliable.”
