Chateau Peymartin Saint-Julien 2001
This excellent Chateau Peymartin St Julien 2001 is the second wine of Chateau Gloria, which itself is somewhat of an anomaly in Bordeaux. It has no official place in the original 1855 Bordeaux classification, because it did not exist at that time. It came into being as the result of one man's desire to own and run a classed growth property. That man was one time mayor of St Julien, Henri Martin. The vineyards of Chateau Gloria cover about 48 hectares in all, with a fairly typical left bank planting scheme; Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) dominates, and most of what remains is Merlot (25%), with 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine undergoes what can be a long cuvaison, with temperature controlled fermentation, before 18 months in oak. The style of wine is soft and seductive, full-bodied with ripe cassis fruit and hints of liquorice. Great value for pretty serious claret.
