Château Martinet
Château Martinet sits in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The estate produces wines rooted in the region's classical blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon—grapes that thrive in the limestone plateau and clay soils surrounding the medieval town. L'Envol de Martinet, the flagship, adds Malbec and Petit Verdot to its core blend, a composition that reflects the complexity Saint-Émilion Grand Cru demands. Sables, a second offering, pairs Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon in a more focused expression. The estate's principal Saint-Émilion rounds out the range with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon in traditional proportion. Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator have all assessed Martinet's output, with L'Envol de Martinet and Sables earning particular regard among prestige critics.
