Château Gloria St Julien 2013

Soft through the mid palate, drink over the next five years to maximise the attractive brambled fruits. This is gentle and unfussy, a good 2013 that has some St Julien character, but stands as an outlier in this excellent Gloria lineup, a reflection of the challenging conditions of the year. 40% new oak. Harvest entirely in October, from 2 to 15, with a yield of 39hl/h. Remi di Constanzo technical director.
