Wine from Chateau Gloria
Filter
Château Gloria was founded and assembled by Henri Martin who established the reputation of the property within the space of a generation. With the first acquisition of 15 acres (6 hectares) of vines in 1942, and purchase of the chai of Château Saint-Pierre, Martin added to the estate over the years with land bought from surrounding classified estates, including Château Saint-Pierre, Beychevelle, Léoville Poyferré, Gruaud-Larose, Léoville-Barton, Ducru- Beaucaillou, and Lagrange. The estate now encompasses nearly 124 acres (50 hectares) Peymartin is Château Gloria’s second wine, produced using the youngest vines on the estate.
Location of Vineyard
The patchwork of vineyards that comprise Gloria are spread out over three distinct zones: the center of the commune Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, an area to the west, and an area to the north bordering the appellation of Pauillac. The average vine age is 40 years, and the soil is made up of Gunzian gravel covering a layer of clay and sand. The plantings are 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot.
Winemaking Philosophy
After a manual harvest, the grapes are vinified in thermo regulated stainless steel vats with malolactic occurring in barrel. The wine spends approximately 12 months in cask, a third of which are replaced every year. The ensuing style of wine is typically a lighter and more elegant St. Julien, known for its early drinkability and charming character.

Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is made from 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 5% divers.
In contrast to Chaupin, which is made from old-vine Grenache on sandy soils, the cuvée Vieilles Vignes is from old vines of Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah along with smaller percentages of other permitted varieties that are grown in these old vineyards. The wine is sourced from 4 terroirs: pebbly clay, sand, gravelly red clay and sandy limestone. Vieilles Vignes is always the most powerful and concentrated Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée made at Domaine de la Janasse.
Review:
The advantages of old vines are perhaps most evident in the more difficult vintages (whether hot and dry or cool and rainy). The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a strong effort, delivering supple, velvety waves of ripe black cherries and black raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, it's rich and concentrated without seeming at all heavy or unbalanced, finishing long and juicy. It's approximately 75% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah and 5% other varieties, keeping in mind that up to 15% of the old Grenache vines are actually Clairette Rose.

Reynvaan Family Vineyards is a cult Walla Walla estate whose vines in the cobblestone-strewn Rocks District produce some of Washington's most sought-after Syrah. Stonessence draws on the estate's In the Rocks fruit for a wild, perfumed, savory style that rivals the great Syrahs of the Northern Rhône.
Review:
Sourced from the estate's In the Rocks vineyard, this penetrating Syrah displays the haunting perfume of the Rocks District. Undulating blackberry and blueberry flavours are tinged with blood, iodine and ash. Powerful yet focused, freshly balanced with a finish that lingers on the bitter edges of quinine and olive pit. Made with 15% whole clusters vinified in stainless steel and matured for 18 months in both new puncheons and neutral oak.
