Chateau Martinet
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.
