A true reference of the Sainte-Foy Côtes de Bordeaux appellation,
La Réserve de Famille has built the reputation of the estate.
A high-end wine with depth and complexity worthy of the finest Bordeaux wines.
On the nose, the wine opens with subtle, sweet liquorice notes, dominated by ripe Morello cherry.
The palate is smooth, dense and concentrated, with a beautiful saline finish.
An essential great Bordeaux wine.
Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier in the World 2007:
“The colour is deep, bright purple, almost ink-like. The pure nose reveals layers of oak-derived spices, with notes of toasted bread and meat blending with black cherry and blackcurrant.
The palate is dense and concentrated, still young but well balanced, with a rich and bold character. A remarkable purity of fruit combines with fine, rich tannins that add depth and structure, leading to a very long, opulent finish.
It will be even better in a few years, but is already extremely tempting.”

In 1991, Patrick de Coninck and Albert Michiels acquired Château Martet. Ideally situated on a hillside along the Dordogne, the estate boasts an exceptional heritage, with a deep connection to the vines and the people who have cultivated them since Roman times.
Château Martet was built in the 13th century as a hospice of the Knights Templar, welcoming pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. From the very beginning, Patrick and Albert set themselves the ambitious goal of restoring the vineyard and estate to their former glory.
From 1998 onwards, Patrick de Coninck placed his trust in Louis Mitjavile for guidance in both viticulture and winemaking. Today, his daughter Nina continues her father’s work, advising Château Martet with the same dedication.
Over the years, their efforts have established Château Martet as an essential Bordeaux estate: five outstanding wines, a warm and welcoming property, and carefully preserved biodiversity have all contributed to the reputation of this rich and passionate story.
