Chateau du Glana 2015 is a dense, concentrated and quite magnificent wine from the opulent 2015 vintage. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot which offers dense cassis fruit with plum and black fruit notes along with intoxicating herb and spice notes. There is an excellent graphite note on the palate along with thick chocolate and coffee bean notes. Brilliant and decadent wine.

Chateau du Glana is a lovely property which is owned and run by the Meffre family who bought the winery in 1961. It is located on the Route des Grands Vins between the villages of Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, just opposite Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou. The estate has grown over the years as vineyards were purchased from Chateau Lagrange and Chateau Saint-Pierre. Although the estate does not hold a lofty classification is has superb terroir and the quality is superb and getting better. The buildings were completely restored in 2003 and it is a modern operation with strong respect for traditional techniques.
