    Decanter
    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. Jane Anson. April 2018.

    Pourpre violacé. Bouquet de bonne intensité aux notes de réglisse et de baies noires. Je relève un peu de pruneaux et de cannelle. Attaque friande, légèrement épicée. Au palais le vin est juteux, frais et équilibré. Bonne intensité aromatique. Les tannins se révèlent lentement en fin de bouche et sont de type granuleux. La structure assure les arrières. Notes de cerises en fin de bouche. 2021-2032 90-92/100. Mars 2018.

    Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez fruité, mûr et épicé. Suave en entrée de bouche, juteux au milieu, avec du goût, le vin s’achève savoureux, plutôt long et sans raideur. Avril 2018.

    The 2017 du Glana has a well defined and focused bouquet with blackberry, cedar and light tobacco aromas. There is elegance and refinement here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity with a pinch of black pepper towards the finish. Whilst not the most high profile Saint-Julien property, this du Glana is impressive and might represent the "insiders' choice". Neal Martin. January 2020.

    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. Lisa Perrotti-Brown. April 2018.
