Château Bel Air (domaines Henri Martin)

Chateau Bel Air Gloria

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. You can't go wrong with the Domaines Martin wines these days, and they have made some of their best wines in this excellent vintage ( Gloria 2016 might well be the best ever!). This Cabernet Sauvignon dominated Haut-Médoc features a deep dark red colour, and a nose with cassis, cedar and dark chocolate. In the mouth it shows impeccable balance with the juicy black fruit balanced by fresh acidity and well-tamed tannin. Terrific value too. — a year ago

Domaines Henri Martin

Chateau Saint-Pierre Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Delightful and a great value for the second label from this producer — 7 years ago

Château Gloria

Selection Domaines Martin Bordeaux de Gloria Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Earthy but smooth tannins. Old world value. James Suckling 91 Pts maybe later with more air. But then I am not really calibrated today after just finishing 31 dry days. It’s good to be back. — 5 years ago

Domaines Martin

Château Gloria Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

A nice classic Bordeaux - drinking well. - as expected for a Petit Chateau. Finish a bit short. Will re-test after more air. — 7 years ago
