Château Gloria Cru Bourgeois St. Julien 2021

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische schwarze Kirschen, Orangenzesten, mit Brombeeren unterlegt. Lebendig, feine Beerenfrucht, gut eingebaute Tannine, frisch und anhaftend, ein eleganter Begleiter bei Tisch."

"Charming and extroverted, the 2021 Gloria bursts with aromas of cassis, cherries, sweet berries, fresh mint and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's a lively, seamless wine that wears its heart on its sleeve. This blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 14% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc seems likely to emerge as a sleeper of the vintage. Tasted four times."

"The 2021 Gloria is charming, as it so often is. Bright and energetic, the 2019 has so much to offer. The purity of the red-toned fruit is so appealing. Gloria can show some hard edges when it is young, but the 2021 is very nicely balanced for a young Saint-Julien." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"The 2021 Gloria is the first vintage where the vineyard farming has moved to organic viticulture (though there are no plans for certification.) It was picked from September 27 to October 9, stopping for 5 days between the Merlot and Cabernets, with a large percentage (14%) of Petit Verdot from a massal selection. It has a very pure and perfumed nose thanks to the contribution of the Petit Verdot. The palate is medium-bodied and quite dense for the vintage, displaying fine body and weight, gentle grip and a touch of graphite toward the finish. Very fine." von NEAL MARTIN

"Das Bouquet von Gloria offenbart einladende fruchtige Nuancen durch den Duft von Kirschen und schwarzen Johannisbeeren, gefolgt von erfrischenden Minz- und Eukalyptusnuancen. Schöne Balance am Gaumen mit frischen, fleischigen Tanninen im Einklang mit der Säurestruktur. Der fruchtige Verlauf des Bouquets findet sich auch im Finale wieder, das von guter Persistenz ist."

"I like the firmness and polish to this, with medium body, creamy tannins and a delicious finish. Racy and refined."
