Winery Overview
Certified HVE Sustainable. A family domaine, owned by the father-and-son team of Robert and Damien Martin, Son Damien now manages all aspects of the viticulture and winemaking. All wines are made from estate grown grapes grown « lutte raisonée. » Vines are guyot-cane trained and every other row of vines is plowed. Full malolactic. Matured about 6 months onfine lees. Both the stainless and barrel fermented wine are then blended for a richer, creamier texture without any perceptible oaky nose or taste.
Clay/limestone soils. Vines average 20+ years in age, with the youngest plantings 4 years-old and the oldest parcels at 60+ years in age.
Viticulture
Certified in sustainable agriculture. From 5- to 23-year-old vines. Vineyard work is undertaken by hand and mechanically (no spraying/chemicals). Ploughing only in alternate rows as part of the estate-s cover-cropping
program. Yields of 4.5 tons/acre.
Vinification
Fermented with native yeasts. 90% fermented in stainless steel tanks, 10% fermented and matured in used French oak barrels. Full malolactic conversion.
Aging
Matured about 6 months on the fine lees. Both the stainless and barrel fermented wine are then blended for a richer, creamier texture without any perceptible oaky character.
Tasting Notes
Offers plenty of stone fruit aromas, with hints of pear, apple and light floral notes. Round but still light on its feet, with a core of underlying minerality and a long, mouthwatering finish.
