Terre du Lion is the second wine of Château Glana in the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation. This domaine is one of the most modern wineries in the region. The high percentage of cabernet sauvignon here is something to be savoured as the vines close to the Garonne River have rare terroir that brings the varietal to wonderful maturity.
