FR Château du Glana Saint-Julien

Château Du Glana is located on the Route des Grands Vins running parallel to the Gironde estuary, between the towns of Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, opposite the famous Château Ducru-Beaucaillou.

Château Du Glana was constructed in 1870 by Mr Nadeau, the city of Blaye’s architect, for Mr Cayx. At about this time, a small (5 hectares) vineyard of gravelly soil was consolidated thanks to the purchase of several plots of land from neighbouring Château Saint-Pierre.

VINTAGE: 2016

ALC: 13.5%

VARIETALS: 56% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 44% MERLOT

AGING : 12 months aging, 40% new barrels

TASTING NOTES: Ideal ripening in 2016 enabled us to make very rich, deeply-coloured wines with no heaviness
or hints of cooked fruit. They are very fresh on both the nose and the palate and have huge
ageing potential
