Château du Glana is located on the Route des Grands Vins along the Gironde estuary, between the villages of Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, just opposite Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. Built in 1870, these very characteristic walls combine the white of the limestone and the red of the brick. The plans of the castle were drawn by Mr. Nadeau, architect of the town of Blaye, on behalf of Mr. Cayx, owner at the time. Château du Glana owes its origin to the division of Château Saint-Pierre, Fourth Grand Cru Classé in 1855. It was in 1961 that Mr. Gabriel Meffre, a renowned nurseryman from Vaucluse, became the purchaser. In the years that followed, he increased the surface area of the vineyard from five to forty-three hectares, thanks to the successive acquisition of several plots belonging to Château Lagrange, Third Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien. His son, Jean-Paul Meffre, and his grandsons, Ludovic and Julien, today take care of the property and show great ambitions towards it, in particular that of highlighting untapped potential. Landlocked among the greatest Médoc classified growths, this property has experienced constant, unprecedented qualitative progress since 1999. Year after year, long work based on in-depth reflection and a complete reorganization of the vineyard is at the origin of the production of modern wines which embody the elegance, spirit and authenticity of exceptional terroirs. from which they come. The complete restoration of the buildings in 2003 (vat room, harvest reception, barrel cellar, offices, reception room), the care given to the vineyard and the valuable advice of Professor Denis Dubourdieu in winemaking converge towards a judicious balance between modern and respect for traditions to produce balanced, velvety, complex wines, appreciated in their youth while offering cellaring for more than ten years.
