The 2025 Gloria is fabulous. Bright, floral and full of life, Gloria is so impressive. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon and dried herbs all add energy to this delicious, mid-weight Saint-Julien. Gloria is especially fine in 2025. Don’t miss it. Taste two times. 04/2026

The 2025 Gloria was picked between September 10 and 19 and matured in 50% new oak. It has a lovely bouquet with well-defined blackberry, violet and crushed stone scents, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grainy tannins, good concentration and a tensile, minerally finish. Bon vin. 05/2026

Sporting a vivid purple hue, the 2025 Château Gloria offers up cassis, assorted red and blue fruits, liquid violets, and classy oak. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc that's being raised in 50% new barrels, it's pure and incredibly polished on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, a silky, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It checks in at 13.2% alcohol. As I've written in the past, the quality at this estate continues to soar, and this will hold its own in a blind tasting with some of the top wines with ease. This château needs to be on everyone's radar. 05/2026

Couleur rouge sombre, aux reflets noirs et pourpres. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur et subtil. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, avec de la classe dans le toucher et un déroulé pulpeux, le vin évolue fondant et noble dans sa tanicité. Il s'achève long, complet, puissant et très bon. Assemblage : 56 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 4 % Cabernet Franc. Degré d’alcool : 13° - pH : 3,69. Rendement : 20 hl/ha. 04/2026

A solid red, structured and textured, showing cherries and baking spices on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with sinewy tannins. Crunchy at the center, with a flavorful, vivid and persistent finish. 04/2026
