Right in front of the prestigious 2nd Cru Classé Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, Château du Glana is well-known for representing a good value in the expensive world of Saint-Julien. Its second wine Pavillon does this job perfectly as well, benefiting from the same care at the Château. It is complex and balanced, showing the typical finesse of the appellation. Can drink now but no hurry at all, it will only improve in the bottle. A real Saint-Julien without stretching (too much) your budget is quite rare, and this is definitely one of them. Highly recommended. | ![]() | ||||||
