Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria

The Martin family, historic owners in Saint-Julien, have been running Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria for over 3 centuries. It was thanks to this small 5-hectare estate that Henri Martin developed his passion for wine, who, like his father, was a cooper by trade. 

In 1942, he began building Château Gloria with the purchase of a 6-hectare parcel belonging to Château Beychevelle. The estate now covers 50 ha. In the 1980s, he also acquired Château Saint-Pierre (4th Grand Cru Classé) and Château Bel-Air, a Cru Bourgeois in Haut-Médoc.

When he died in 1991, his daughter Françoise and son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud took over the management of the estates, assisted by their children, Vanessa and Jean.
