Organoleptic analysis

Visual exam

A beautiful ruby red.

Olfactory examination

On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of ripe blackcurrant and wild red berries, followed by floral nuances, dark chocolate notes, and hints of caramel. Elegant undertones of toasted hazelnut emerge in the background.

Tasting

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured: the tannins are dense yet smooth, with a roundness that leads to a pleasantly chewy and persistent finish. The balance between freshness, substance, and alcoholic warmth makes it harmonious and already enjoyable, while promising interesting evolution with a few years of bottle aging.

After four generations, the estate is now led by Sylvette, André, Guillaume, and Julien Martin, who passionately continue the family tradition, with a keen eye on innovation and environmental sustainability.

Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is one of the most important wine territories in the world. Not only does this region reach dizzying qualitative peaks, but it has consistently maintained those results, year after year, with top-notch quality.

Centuries of tradition and pursuit of quality have raised the bar and made Bordeaux wines famous: in 80% of cases, they are imposing red wines of remarkable structure and power, but there are also examples of botrytized or noble rot wines that complete the oenological panorama and elevate Bordeaux's reputation.

Bordeaux benefits from its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is maritime: mild winters, cool summers, abundant precipitation but very well absorbed by the soil rich in stones, breccia, and sediments. The soils are highly variable on the surface, not particularly fertile, and covered by a thin layer of breccia, while the deeper layers are rich in minerals.

Regarding the classification, most wines are designated as Cru Bourgeois, but otherwise, there is no homogeneous system for the entire region.

Médoc

The Médoc is the most famous area of Bordeaux and is located to the north along the estuary of the Gironde River. The AOC Médoc is the area to the north of the region, while the southern part is called AOC Haut-Médoc.

In the Médoc, mainly red wines are produced with Cabernet Sauvignon (which provides structure), Merlot (which brings softness and elegance), Cabernet Franc (which adds aromatic complexity to the wine). Petit Verdot and Malbec are less common.

In St-Estèphe, the most interesting Cru Bourgeois of the region are produced. Further south, there is the AOC Pauillac, where three of the five Châteaux classified as Premier Cru classé are located (Château Latour, Château Mouton-Rothschild, and Château Lafitte-Rothschild).

Moving south, there is the AOC St-Julien, where the highest concentration of Crus Classés and many excellent Crus Bourgeois are found. Further down, near the coast of the Gironde, we find the AOC Margaux, with its wines famous for elegance and refinement.
