Second wines in great years have always been a great way for Bordeaux wine lovers to enjoy something special without breaking the bank. The Pavillon du Glana 2020 is a prime example of this. Produced at Chateau du Glana, the close neighbour of Chateau Beychevelle, it shows the vintage's generosity and style in a more approachable way. 

Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Oct 2025)

Blend : 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot

Taste

With its classic bouquet of cassis, pencil lead, and violets and ripe, saturated palate of plums, blackberries, chocolate, and dusty minerals, its a claret lover's dream. Savour this with red meats, game birds, roasted vegetables, or cured meats.

About the Producer

Once part of Château Saint-Pierre, Château du Glana has been quietly improving since Gabriel Meffre bought it in 1961. Now run by his grandsons, Ludovic and Julien, the 59-hectare estate focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot planted on classic gravel soils.
