Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

Superb aromas of black fruit, prune, and tobacco, complemented by floral and spicy notes; harmonious on the palate, with silky tannins, fruit, and excellent freshness. A vibrant Saint-Julien.

About the estate:

Located across from Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien, this estate is currently managed by Ludovic and Julien Meffre. The family also owns Château Lalande and Château Bellegrave in Pauillac. The wines produced here are elegant and beautifully balanced. They perfectly embody the classic image of a Saint-Julien.

About the estate:

Created following the division of Château Saint-Pierre, of which it had historically been a part, Château du Glana covered just 4 hectares by the late 1950s. It owes its growth to Gabriel Meffre, a nurseryman from the Vaucluse region who acquired it in 1961 and gradually expanded its acreage to over 40 hectares. Today, his grandsons, Ludovic and Julien, run the estate, which over the past decade has undergone a complete modernization of its facilities and a revitalization of the vineyard. The wines are now top-notch: charming, supple Saint-Juliens with a beautiful elegance.
