Château du Glana
Lying on the famous D2 ‘Route des Châteaux' that runs alongside the Gironde Estuary, Château du Glana is situated between the villages of Beychevelle and Saint-Julien, opposite the elegant Château Ducru-Beaucaillou. Built in 1870, its 5-hectare vineyard was made up of plots bought from Château Saint-Pierre. In 1961, it was acquired by Gabriel Meffre who extended the estate to 46 hectares by buying plots from 3rd Growth, Château Lagrange. The meticulous care and attention to detail in the vineyard as well as in the vat house, and the judicious use of traditional and modern wine making, have all contributed to the reputation of Du Glana, which was given Cru Bourgeois Supérieur status in the new classification of 2003.
