Chateau du Glana, Saint-Julien, 2019
Glana is beautifully sited - between the illustrious names of Beychevelle and Ducru Beaucaillou. The Meffre family bought the estate in 1961 and enlarged the vineyard area with purchases from Château Lagrange. Even after considerable investment Glana remains an oasis of value amidst its neighbours. The hot summer of 2019
enabled the family to up the % of Cabernet Sauvignon to 72%, with 28% Merlot. Ludovic and Julien Meffre considered this vintage “in line with some of the greatest”.
Offers up that appealing Bordeaux perfume of ripe berries and cigar box. Bright red fruit. Youthful but polished and ready. Svelte. Now-2033
“…an excellent Glana and one to recommend for medium-term St Julien pleasure. Pretty broad shouldered, as this wine often is, with clearly defined strands of blueberry and blackberry fruits, alongside
slate and crushed stone to add restraint and texture. Chocolate dusting on the finish. 92/100”, Jane Anson, Decanter, 8th May 2020
