Le Point 15 / 20 byJacques Dupontthe6/20/2018 Fruits rouges, mûre, myrtille, juteux, élevage discret, tanins fins, bien en place, finale savoureuse.
Vinifera 88 / 100 byJacques Perrinthe5/28/2018 En finesse, le nez évoque les fruits. Très jolie bouche, bien construite, avec une chair pulpeuse et une trame tannique savoureuse. Finale sur les fruits frais.
Vinous 87-89 / 100 byAntonio Gallonithe5/15/2018 The 2017 Glana is plump, juicy and delicious. Succulent red cherry, raspberry and floral notes give the 2017 its distinctly bright, floral personality. This fruity, mid-weight Saint-Julien looks like it is built for near and medium term drinking.
The Wine Cellar Insider 86-88 / 100 byJeff Levethe5/11/2018 Medium bodied, forward and approachable, here you'll find a cassis, earth, cedar and licorice-filled wine with a sweet and tart, bright red berry finish.
Vinous 85-87 / 100 byNeal Martinthe5/1/2018 The 2017 du Glana has a simple, rather one-dimensional bouquet that lacks real personality. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, moderate acidity but lacks real persistency on the grippy but somehow charmless finish.
Wine Advocate 89-91 / 100 byLisa Perrotti-Brownthe4/27/2018 Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 du Glana offers up warm cassis, blackberry pie and blueberry compote with touches of violets and black pepper. Medium-bodied, firm and lively in the mouth, it has a good concentration of fruit and a perfumed finish.
Decanter.com 91 / 100 byJane Ansonthe4/25/2018 Firm, rich and bright, this is an enjoyable wine with clear St-Julien character. The tannins creep up on you, suggesting that this wine will age well. Although subtle, it's also hugely promising with slate, charcoal and menthol notes joined by finely-placed and precise tannins. The vineyards were unaffected by frost, with a yield of 50hl/ha. Christophe Ollivier is consultant here, making the Meffre stable one of the rare St-Juliens to stray from the Boissenot embrace.Drinking Window 2025 - 2038
