Tasting Notes
Gloria is always such a consistent performer and the 2024 is no different. Deep purple in colour with lovely peppery spice and herbal aromatics on the nose, the palate is similarly charming. There’s a wave of ripe black fruit with a touch of menthol. The finish is long with a line of gentle, moreish acidity. The firm but subtle tannins slowly melt away on the finish. This will certainly drink well in the near future. Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

Aromas of blackberries, cassis and toasty oak introduce the 2024 Gloria, a medium-bodied, lively wine built around youthfully chalky tannins.
Medium to full intensity deep plum colour, lovely spice, textured graphite, pumice, powerful and sculpted bright fruits, this is thoroughly enjoyable, a real success in a vintage.Triaud family owners, 34 hl/ha yield.
The 2024 Gloria is soft, fruity and very easy to like. Sweet red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, lavender and mocha are nicely pushed forward. Gloria is very nicely balanced. It's a real charmer in 2024.
About the producer
The modest Ch. Gloria was only created in the 1940s, when Henri Martin – a cooper – purchased some vines. With parcels dotted in amongst the region’s Classed Growths, it produces impressive wines. Today it's managed by Vanessa and Jean Triaud (Henri Martin’s granddaughter and grandson-in-law).
