Spiced red plums, currants, mineral and a touch of iron and paprika. Quite juicy on the palate with a medium body and fine tannins. Elegant, mouthwatering and linear in the finish, which shows some nice length. Drink now.

Tasting notes: On the palate, the wine is dominated by abundant plum and apricot fruit flavors, with beautiful acidity and immediate sweetness, very direct; in the mid-palate, the fruit flavors become more juicy with chewing, woody notes emerge, dark chocolate, a hint of pepper and a slightly cool mint, adding complexity; medium tannins, full body, and a very elegant and charming finish.

Introduction ：Chateau du Glana dates back to 1870, when the Saint Julien estate was created. Prior to 1870, some of the vineyard was once a part of the neighboring Chateau Saint-Pierre. However, the modern era for the estate is more recent. That starts in 1961, when it was purchased by Gabriel Meffre. At the time of the purchase, Chateau du Glana was in a sad state of dilapidation.Today, Chateau du Glana remains one of last remaining, non classified growths in the appellation. Chateau du Glana once again modernized their cellars and wine making facilities in 2015. Chateau du Glana remains a family affair.

Maturation : To produce the wine of Chateau du Glana, the wine is vinified in large, traditional cement vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank. The wines are aged in 40% new, French oak barrels for 12 months.

Vinification : The 59 hectare Left Bank vineyard of Chateau du Glana is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. This marked a change in the vineyard for the estate, as 5% of the vineyard was previously planted with Cabernet Franc. Those vines were removed and replaced with Merlot.
