First and foremost this is the story of a man, Henri Martin, the son of a cooper whose family history in Médoc went back for a number of centuries. It all began with a little vineyard, historically owned by the family, called Château Haut-Beychevelle Gloria, and it ended with the acquisition of Château Saint-Pierre, which had been given Grand Cru Classé status in 1855. In the meantime, Henri Martin created a world-renowned estate, Château Glo...
A vineyard covering 17 hectares, with an average vine age of 50 years, located in the middle of the commune of Beychevelle on soil made up of Gunzian gravel covering a layer of clay and sand. The grapes are 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
Once the grapes have been picked by hand, the harvest is vinified in the traditional way in heat-regulated stainless steel vats, in order to produce truly exceptional wines which can be laid down for a long time. The wine then spends 14 to 16 months being aged in casks, half of which are replaced every year.
