Château Gloria

The winery is located in the municipality of Saint-Julien or the area of the same name in the Médoc(Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). In the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid, it was last classified as "Cru Bourgeois" in 2003. It was established in the 1940s by Henri Martin (+1991), the mayor of St. Julien and "Grand Maître der Commanderie du bontemps" (ceremonial order of the Médoc). Together with Château Bel-Air and Château Saint-Pierre, which is classified in fourth place (Quatrième Cru Classé), the entire estate trades under the name "Domaines Henri Martin".

After Martin's death, the management of the company was taken over by his son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud. The vineyards cover 50 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (5%). This extremely long-lasting red wine is aged for 18 months in half new barriques. The two second wines are called "Château Peymartin" and "Château Haut-Beychevelle-Gloria".
