Created by Henri Martin and the only one of its kind as this 50-hectare vineyard was put together piece-by-piece over a number of years, through the purchase of plots exclusively from grands crus classi?ed in 1855. The origin of the terroirs, the care taken over the growing and the vinification all help to explain its world-renowned quality. Producer First and foremost this is the story of a man, Henri Martin, the son of a cooper whose family history in Medoc went back for a number of centuries. It all began with a little vineyard, historically owned by the family, called Chateau Haut-Beychevelle Gloria, and it ended with the acquisition of Chateau Saint-Pierre, which had been given Grand Cru Classe status in 1855. In the meantime, Henri Martin created a world-renowned estate, Chateau Gloria. These three vineyards are all in the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation, but he also acquired Chateau Bel Air, a Haut-Medoc cru bourgeois, in the early 1980s. The total area covered by all of them amounted to a little over 105 hectares. Henri Martin died in 1991 and the estates are now run by his daughter Francoise and his son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud, backed up by their children, Vanessa and Jean.
