About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceA very individualistic Bordeaux, Château Gloria is the lifes work of Henri Martin. Henri's Cabernet based wines are a little quirky as the Château never joined the Syndicat des Crus Bourgeois. That has allowed Henri to be a little more creative and produce wines of great concentration for prices that are easily approachable. The United States have been a great supporter of Château Gloria's wines and it seems that Australia is beginning to cotton on. The 2009 will prove to one of the estate's finest with the vintage providing conditions that bordered on pristine. Dark fruits abound along with secondary flavours of coffee and forest floor. All supported by quality oak, this is an affordable quality Bordeaux that everyone can sink their teeth into.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Gloria has long been one of the most popular wines in America, but I do not believe they have ever made better wines than they have over the last decade, and the 2009 is one of their finest. While this estate is not a classified growth, it certainly perfo
