Château Gloria is a unique estate created by Henri Martin. While it was never classified in 1855, this estate produces wines that can equal those of its more prestigious neighbors. The 50-hectare vineyard was indeed gradually put together piece-by-piece thanks to the purchase of several plots from mainly classified Growths in 1855. Today, the origin of the terroirs, the care given during the growing and the vinification explain the quality of this wine that is now famous worldwide.
