CH GLORIA '09 750

Created by Henri Martin, this estate is unique in having been built up piece by piece over several years through the purchase of parcels, the majority of which were classified as “grands crus” in 1855. The origin of the terroirs and the painstaking growing and vinification techniques are the reasons why its quality is recognised worldwide.

Grape Varietals:

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

92 Points - Falstaff, April 2010. "Dark berry fruit with a mineral undertone, delicate hints of spices and tobacco, attractive bouquet. Complex, full-bodied, extract-sweet, racy structure, fine chocolate touch, lingers well, good development potential."

92 Points - Wine Spectator, March 2012. 

92 Points - Gilbert & Gaillard, December 2011. "Dark hue tinged with crimson. Extremely young nose revealing racy ageing and roasted coffee accents. On the palate, wonderful stuffing, a full, rich wine with generous aromas. The oak is still very upfront although the fruit is beginning to show."

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast, January 2012. "Smooth, open wine, the ripest fruit layered with soft tannins. It reveals all the opulent fruit of the year while offering medium-term pleasure."
