Vignes de Compostelle is a dry, aromatic and structured white wine. Its typical Sauvignon nose gives way to the mixture of fruit and white flowers brought by the blend of Sémillon and Muscadelle. Ideal with seafood, fish or as an aperitif.

In 1991, Patrick de Coninck and Albert Michiels acquired Château Martet. This estate, ideally located on a hillside along the Dordogne, offers an exceptional heritage with a relationship with the vine and people dating back to the Roman era. Château Martet was built in the 13th century: a hospitable house of the Templar order for pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela. Patrick and Albert immediately had the ambitious project of restoring the vineyard and the property to their former glory. From 1993 to 2006, a restructuring of the vineyard was undertaken: uprooting of grape varieties unsuited to the soil and uprooting of wide vines to favor tall vines with low density. From 1998 Patrick de Coninck trusted Louis Mitjavile, to advise him on both viticulture and oenology, and today it is still his daughter Nina who has taken up her father’s torch for Martet. Over the years, their work has placed Château Martet at the forefront of the vineyard: five great wines, a welcoming property and preserved biodiversity which have made this rich and passionate history famous.
