2019 | Château du Glana | Saint-Julien

It has a very intense red colour, aromas of black fruits and vanilla on the nose. It has some acidity and very marked tannins.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 du Glana prances out of the glass with flamboyant black cherry preserves, warm cassis and wild blueberries scents plus hints of chocolate mint, tobacco leaf and Indian spices. Medium-bodied, the palate has a beautiful, velvety texture with loads of black fruit and exotic spice flavors highlighted by seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering aniseed note.

Producer Information

Château du Glana is an estate situated in the appellation of Saint-Julien in the Haut-Médoc, on Bordeaux's Left Bank. The 60 hectares (148 acres) of vineyards are planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller quantities of Merlot. The château lies on the "Route des Grands Vins" opposite the renowned second growth estate, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. When created in 1870 Château du Glana comprised 5ha (12 acres) of vines. After a series of owners and vineyard extensions, the property was acquired by Gabriel Meffre in 1961. Under his supervision the vineyard increased further to 43ha (106 acres). Key purchases included parcels from the nearby third growth estate, Château Lagrange. The Meffre family still own the property today, with Jean-Paul and his two sons Ludovic and Julien leading the management of the château and its vineyards. They have undertaken extensive renovations at the estate, which have included the restoration of the vat room and wine cellars. Approximately 65 percent of the vineyards are devoted to the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon, while the remaining 35 percent is set aside for the growth of Merlot. These vines average 25 years old and are planted in Garonne gravel soils. Each plot of vines is managed individually and, after harvest, the grapes are fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. Cold maceration follows, with 3 weeks vatting time in concrete and stainless steel tanks. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels (typically 40 percent new) to age for 12 months. Annual production levels of the grand vin reach roughly 120,000 bottles. The second wine is Pavillon du Glana.
