Château Martet Reserve De La Famille is a true benchmark for great Bordeaux wine.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Merlot. The fruit comes from 33 ha, including 17 ha intended for the Family Reserve, of vineyards in the Sainte-Foy Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The vines grow in gravel iron clay limestone and clay limestone soils. The vineyards are tended to with organic fertilisers and reasoned soil tillage.
Taste Profile: Purplish red colour. This top-of-the-range wine opens with a blackberry, prune and truffle nose. Sensually smooth and supple on the palate with velvety tannins and dominant black fruit flavours. A wine that offers pleasure and finesse.
Winemaking Process: The wine ages for 18 months in new barrels from Radoux Blend.
