Château Gloria

Château Gloria boasts a vineyard spread across three areas: in the center of Beychevelle, and to the west and north of the Saint-Julien appellation.

Grown on Günzian gravel terroirs with a subsoil of sandy-clay gravel, Château Gloria ranks among the best in the Saint-Julien appellation. The grape variety mix is very traditional, consisting of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Château Gloria was, in fact, one of the first to believe in Petit Verdot, an excellent grape variety that was likely cultivated in the Médoc long before Cabernet Sauvignon. This grape variety contributes color to the blends, as well as added aromatic, tannic, and alcoholic richness.

The vines at Château Gloria range in age from 80 years to 30 years, with an average age of around 45 years. The vineyard at Château Gloria is exceptionally well-located and meticulously maintained. Its yield per hectare averages 45 hectoliters, with a planting density of 10,000 vines per hectare.

A combination of rigorous criteria goes into producing Château Gloria’s AOC Saint-Julien wine, which stands out for its quality within the appellation.
