Tasting note

品飲筆記：2009 年份的歌利亞在聖朱利安表現得成熟而優雅，黑莓與黑櫻桃的果香明確，隨之而來的是煙草、雪松與微苦可可的層次感。口感中等偏厚，單寧細緻如絲，礦物感與收斂的橡木共同支撐了整體架構。 酒莊風土與生產：由 Henri Martin 逐塊買下優良地塊建立而成，葡萄園分散且各自管理，這種片段式積累造就了今天被廣泛認可的品質。現任所有者 Jean Louis Triaud 延續傳統與穩定的風格。 釀造與熟成：全程手工採收，採用溫控不鏽鋼槽進行傳統發酵；之後以橡木桶熟成約 14 個月，平均 40% 換桶率，讓酒體保有果香同時帶有柔和的木質與香料調性。 田間與口感：園地主要位於聖朱利安，管理細緻，收成時注重成熟度與平衡。入口飽滿但不厚重，單寧圓潤、酸度帶動節奏，餘韻乾淨且持久。建議醒酒 45–60 分鐘，搭配烤牛排、紅肉或陳年硬質起司很合適。

Tasting note: The 2009 vintage of this Saint-Julien estate offers a polished, medium‑to‑full palate with ripe dark fruit at the forefront — black cherry and blackberry — layered with tobacco, cedar, cocoa and a touch of savoury earth. Fine‑grained tannins and a mineral backbone give the wine structure while oak influence remains present but integrated after ageing. Producer notes: Created by Henri Martin and assembled from numerous prized parcels, the estate’s quality stems from careful parcel selection and traditional attention to detail. Ownership today under Jean Louis Triaud continues that focus on consistent, classic Médoc style. Winemaking notes: Hand-harvested, fermentations are traditional in temperature‑controlled stainless steel. The wine was aged for 14 months in casks, with roughly 40% renewed on average, yielding a measured oak frame and well polished texture. Vineyard notes: Vineyards are mainly in the Saint‑Julien appellation (with some parcels in Haut‑Médoc under a different label), harvested by hand and managed parcel by parcel to capture typical Médoc concentration and freshness. Cellaring & serve: Drinking window spans now into long term ageing (originally 2012–2042). For near‑term drinking, decant 45–60 minutes to open aromas. Pair with roasted or grilled red meats and aged cheeses.

Winery

歌利亞酒莊由 Henri Martin 逐塊購地建立，很多地塊歷史悠久且品質卓越。酒莊重視分地管理與傳統釀法，現由 Jean Louis Triaud 維持穩定品質與經典梅多克風格。

Chateau Gloria was created by Henri Martin by assembling high-quality parcels—many of them classified in 1855—over several years. The estate is prized for its meticulous parcel selection and classic Médoc winemaking; ownership under Jean Louis Triaud preserves a tradition of careful viticulture and traditional vinification.
