"This top-notch vintage has nothing to envy its famous Saint-Julien neighbors. Highly recommended!
"What sets it apart during tasting is its absolutely refined aging. It has all the characteristics of the vintage: concentration, maturity, but also a beautiful balance on an acidic structure, with very fine tannins. All this creates a flavorful, dense, and fluid palate. The barrel aging seems to envelop the wine in a thick silk fabric, scented with coffee and incense. Let's not forget it's available for delivery." (Terre de Vins 2020) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 12 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Located opposite Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien, this property is now managed by Ludovic and Julien Meffre. The family also owns Château Lalande and Château Bellegrave in Pauillac. The wines produced are elegant and harmoniously balanced. They correspond perfectly to the idea of a Saint Julien.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Medium to full-bodied inky-purple color. An excellent Glana to recommend for medium-term enjoyment in the Saint-Julien appellation. Quite broad-shouldered, as this wine often is, with clearly defined blueberry and blackberry notes, as well as slate and crushed stone adding restraint and texture. A sprinkling of chocolate on the finish. 2026 - 2042
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2023) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
A fine bottle for laying down, this wine starts out discreetly aromatic before opening up to woody aromas of sweet spices and roasting. On the palate, it boasts a solid, tight tannic structure and appreciable length. Cellar it and serve it with a good rib-eye steak on release. 2026-2032

Domaine noté Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
The result of the division of Château Saint-Pierre, of which it was historically a part, Château du Glana had shrunk to just 4 hectares by the end of the 1950s. It owes its success to Gabriel Meffre, a nurseryman from the Vaucluse region, who acquired it in 1961 and gradually increased its size to over 40 hectares. Today, his grandchildren, Ludovic and Julien, run the estate, which over the last ten years has benefited from a complete overhaul of its facilities and a return to vineyard management. The wines are now up to scratch: charming, supple and elegant Saint Julien.

About the wine:
Barrel sample. The wine's structure is very present at this stage of evolution. It indicates good ageing potential, but contrasts well with the elegance of the black fruit and the freshness of the finish.

About the wine:
What sets it apart during tasting is its absolutely refined aging. It has all the characteristics of the vintage: concentration, maturity, but also a beautiful balance on a tangy structure, with very fine tannins. All this creates a flavorful, dense, and fluid palate. The barrel aging seems to envelop the wine in a thick silk cloth, scented with coffee and incense. Let's not forget that it is available for delivery.

About the wine:
Purplish purple. What intensity and freshness in this bouquet! Fruity, floral and spicy. I note classic red berry notes and a pleasant, refreshing touch of eucalyptus. On the palate, the attack is fruity and creamy. Glana 2019 has body, fine tannins that reveal themselves slowly and a supportive structure. Good aromatic intensity, from the opening to the finish. A wine of character that combines accessibility and potential. In short, it can be enjoyed young, but has the substance to spend a few years in the cellar. 2025-2039
