Chateau Martinet

Château Martinet – an 18th-century manor house nestled within 25 hectares of land in the heart of Libourne. Twenty hectares of vines on typical gravelly soils, tended by the de Lavaux family. 65 percent Merlot, 35 percent Cabernet Franc. Soil cultivation, pruning, hand-harvesting, sorting – all done with the utmost care. The result: a delicate, elegant wine, one of the most sought-after crus in Saint-Émilion. Gilles Pauquet and Stéphane Toutoundji are responsible for its production. Pauquet, incidentally, is also responsible for the wines at Château Cheval Blanc. Saint-Émilion as it should be.

Château Martinet Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Château Martinet –
elegance from the heart of Saint-Émilion

Château Martinet lies in the heart of Libourne – an 18th-century manor house surrounded by 20 hectares of vines on typical gravelly soils. The de Lavaux family manages the estate with meticulous care evident in every step: manual soil cultivation, precise pruning, hand-harvesting, and rigorous sorting in the cellar.

The blend consists of 65 percent Merlot and 35 percent Cabernet Franc – a composition typical of Saint-Émilion : velvety texture, restrained power, a wine that prioritizes elegance over volume. Gilles Pauquet and Stéphane Toutoundji are responsible for the winemaking. Pauquet also oversees the wines at Château Cheval Blanc – a testament to the high level of craftsmanship employed there.

Those who appreciate Bordeaux that does not work with extraction and wood, but with terroir and patience, will find in Château Martinet one of the quiet crus of the appellation.
