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.

He also bought Château Saint-Pierre, an 1855 Grand Cru Classé, bringing new life and integrity to this outstanding Beychevelle estate. Finally, in the 1980s, he bought Château Bel Air, a Haut-Médoc “cru bourgeois”, which has since been renamed Château Bel Air Gloria.

These properties together cover over 100 hectares and are being developed within a family atmosphere by his daughter Françoise, son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud and his grandchildren Vanessa and Jean Triaud, following the principles laid down by this dynamic, pioneering man.
