The best cru bourgeois of Saint-Julien (it could easily have been classified in 1855), kept by the Saint-Pierre team, even owner, and in very good shape in the last vintages. The Médoc's best value par excellence.
Rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Les derniers millésimes semblent orienter Gloria vers davantage d'élégance et de pureté. 2018 est à ce titre très réussi, le vin possède un fruit très noble et beaucoup de race avec un élevage qui se fait plus discret. Très bel équilibre. » (Nov. 2021)

Rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, a pretty and understated Gloria. A classic tobacco and bay leaf finish does not quite kick on like other recent vintages. Nevertheless, this is a delicious Saint-Julien that will give 20 years of drinking pleasure. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 94/100 by Antonio Galloni « Medium in body and full of character, Gloria is one of the highlights of the vintage. Don't miss it. » (March 2020)

The 2020 vintage is rated 95/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "This 2020 lives up to all its promises, with a straightforward palate, a little tight, but promising, which stretches well over fine tannins. A Saint Julien that is perfectly defined and poised." (December 2022)
Rated 95/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Beautiful dark red with purple highlights. Bright nuances. Very aromatic nose, fine, fruity, suave. Smoky touch. Meticulous on the entry, fragrant in the middle, with a present body and a fine touch, the wine progresses on floral and fresh nuances. It bounces back on the finish, velvety, long, sappy and with no tannic angle. A lovely, gentle finish" (March 2023).

The 2019 vintage is rated 95/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied, dense and saline, with sappy black fruit, fine acidity and hints of black olive lending complexity on the persistent finish. A great Saint-Julien. » (Feb. 2022)
Rated 95/100 by la Revue du Vin de France « 2019 élégant, à la texture crémeuse et à la finale fondue et harmonieuse» (September 2022)

Coup de ♥ from La Revue de France 2021 guide rated 94/100
Rated 93/100 by Neal Martin "The 2017 Saint-Pierre has a very intense bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violet aromas, quite Margaux like in style. This is floral and inviting, wonderful delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and harmony, building nicely with a push and caressing finish. What a superb Saint-Pierre that will give 20+ years of drinking pleasure." (Feb. 2020)
Rated 95/100 by Antonio Galloni "Just as it was from barrel, the 2017 Saint-Pierre is arrestingly beautiful. Black cherry, plum, graphite, spice, new leather, licorice and smoke infuse the 2017 with tons of character. Readers will find a bold, unctuous Saint-Julien bursting at the seams with personality. As always, Saint-Pierre is a dark, brooding Saint-Julien that shows the more virile side of the appellation off to great effect." (March 2020)
Rated 93/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Caressing on the attack, juicy on development, then airy and very flavoursome, the wine stands out on the finish, very persistent, full of charm and unapproachable." (Oct. 2020)
