    Product description

    Vines are planted with low yields averaging 53 hl/ha and have an average age of 25 years. Pruning is carried out using the double Guyot method. Grapes are fermented for 3 weeks in concrete and stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Further cold maceration for more colour. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 40% new barrels selected from various cooperages. Blackberry, blackcurrant, and vanilla aromas lead, followed by elegant red berries with a hint of licorice on the palate.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Château du Glana

    Château Du Glana is located between the towns of Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, opposite the famous Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. After successive ownership, Mr Gabriel Meffre bought the estate in 1961 and increased the vineyards’ size by acquiring several plots from third growth Château Lagrange. He also consulted wine guru Denis Dubourdieu to create a well-balanced, velvety, and complex wine that can be enjoyed when young, but also with excellent ageing potential. Today the domaine is run by his two sons Ludovic and Julien. View our selection.

    Vineyard & Winemaking

    The 59 hectares are almost in a single block and planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot with an average 25 years old vines. Wines are matured for 12 months in French oak of which 40% is new.

    Wines Produced

    Château du Glana (grand vin) and Pavillon du Glana (second vin)
