Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria

The Martin family, long-time landowners in Saint-Julien, has managed Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria for more than three centuries. It was thanks to this small 5-hectare estate that Henri Martin developed his passion for wine; like his father, he was a cooper by trade. 

In 1942, he began building Château Gloria by purchasing a 6-hectare plot belonging to Château Beychevelle. The estate now spans 50 hectares. In the 1980s, he also acquired Château Saint-Pierre (a 4th Grand Cru Classé) and Château Bel-Air, a Cru Bourgeois in the Haut-Médoc.

Upon his death in 1991, his daughter Françoise and his son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud took over management of the estates, with the help of their children, Vanessa and Jean.
