Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria

The Martin family, long-time owners in Saint-Julien, have been running Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria for over three centuries. It was thanks to this small 5-hectare estate that Henri Martin developed his passion for wine, having followed in his father's footsteps as a cooper. 

In 1942, he began building Château Gloria with the purchase of a 6-hectare plot belonging to Château Beychevelle. Today, the estate covers 50 hectares. 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.
