Appellation : Saint-Julien
Chateau du Glana
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.
Mr Gabriel Meffre bought Château Du Glana in 1961. He increased the vineyard to 43 hectares in the following years by acquiring several plots belonging to third growth Château Lagrange.
Helped by his young sons Ludovic and Julien, Jean-Paul Meffre now looks after the estate. They are motivated by a major ambition: to achieve the estate’s full potential.
Surrounded by some of finest great growths in the Médoc, Château Du Glana has made tremendous strides in quality since 1999. The estate’s completely restored buildings has been realised in 2003 and 2015.

The owner's pitch.
“Much thought has gone into making improvements over the past several years and the vineyard has been entirely renovated. Château Du Glana produces modern elegant wines of character reflecting our estate’s superb terroir. The immense care taken in the vineyard, and precious winemaking advice from Christophe Ollivier provide a sound equilibrium between modern methods and respect for tradition. Château Du Glana is thus a well-balanced, velvety, and complex wine enjoyable young, but also with excellent ageing potential (over ten years).”

Wines.
The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, and are treated with great care. Extraction during vinification is handled gently to respect the original fruit. Wines from Château du Glana are typical from the Saint-Julien appellation….soft, feminine, delicate, drinkable when young but which can also age more at least fifteen years.
