Unlike the other famous properties from Bordeaux whose history is very old, the history of Château Gloria is recent and dates from the second half of the twentieth century. The property was created from scratch, rank of vines by row of vines and plot by plot. Henri Martin, at the origin of this company, did his best to acquire various parcels of classified growth very well located to compose the current Château Gloria. His name was inspired by a neighboring locality, The Gloria. Although it has been awarded prestigious terroirs, Château Gloria has never been able to obtain a revision of the 1855 classification that would have allowed it to appear there.
The vineyard has 44 hectares on a terroir among the best of the appellation. The grape variety is very classic with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. With 80-year-old vines and 30-year-old vines, the average age is around 45 years old. The vineyard is remarkable and carefully maintained. Over the years, the production equipment has undergone successive renovations and modernizations, including the construction in 2000 of a new barrel cellar. In addition, very regular and high quality qualitative assessments are carried out.
