Château du Glana, St‑Julien “This estate in Saint-Julien, surrounded by Crus Classés vineyards, has produced a bold and spicy wine. With a licorice aroma and ripe tannins, the wine is young. It has the elegance typical of Saint-Julien, giving a balanced wine that will be ready from 2027.” 93 pts, Wine Enthusiast 332853 $65
94 Château Gloria, St‑Julien “A pretty violet note leads off before the core of kirsch, linzer torte and plum sauce starts to yawn awake. Licorice snap and bramble are injected into the finish, along with an apple wood accent. Shows grip and focus. For fans of the gutsy style. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2038.” 93 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 363864 $110 95 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, St‑Émilion Grand Cru “Dark ripe fruit with fresh blueberries and cranberries. Great upfront juiciness with some soft herbal and subtle toasty accents beneath the fruit. Charming and easy to like with a lifted, menthol and mineral finish. This has an element of reduction about it adding extra crispness to the expression. Bright and characterful keeping a
straight line from start to the end.” 93 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 332946
