Gloria is a creation story, beginning in the late 1930s with a single hectare of land. It is a
rare entrepreneurial triumph that spanned the working lifetime of one man.
Parcel by parcel, Henri Martin would craft a splendid legacy, and reshape the face of the Saint-Julien appellation. By acquiring land primarily from the most revered 1855 Classified Growths, he would guarantee a quality worthy of the name he dreamt of.
Today, Gloria radiates the ambition, devotion and joyful energy that he poured into his vineyards. And while the estate could never re-write the historic classification, Henri Martin would mischievously raise his glass ’to the most classified estate in Saint-Julien’.
