Domaines Henri Martin
A brief history
Born into a family who have lived in the Médoc region for over three hundred years, Henri Martin, grandson of a cellar-master at Château Gruaud-Larose and son of a cooper from the village of Beychevelle, was a bold, visionary man who left his mark on the history of the Saint-Julien region.
Keen to seek out noble parcels of land, Henri Martin set out to develop Château Gloria, a tremendous accomplishment and an approach never before seen in the history of the Médoc, in which he successfully negotiated the purchase of parcels that mostly formed part of Saint-Julien’s “cru classé” vineyards to build up his life’s work. Incidentally, the name “Gloria” helped to build the reputation of Domaines Henri Martin.
