A true benchmark of the Sainte-Foy C?tes de Bordeaux appellation, La Re?serve de Famille has made the Chateau Martet renowned among wine lovers the world over.
Located in the AOC Sainte-Foy, 25km east of Saint Emilion, Ch?teau Martet is spread over 33 ha with 17ha for Reserve de Famille. Clay-limestone soils as well as gravel soils, a preserved biodiversity, and a unique savoir-faire all contribute to the creation of ?grand? wines.
Vinified since 1999 by Louis Mitjaville, Reserve de Famille is a 100% Merlot that can rival some of the biggest labels in Bordeaux.

This wine pours a purplish red, with aromas of blackberry, prune & truffle.
The palate is balanced and structured, smooth and tasty, black fruit dominates.
Delicious now, but one that can be cellared with confidence.  
For best results though, open 1 to 2 hours before to let it breath a little.

A classic Bordeaux style, great next to red meats (think prime rib), game, duck, wild mushrooms and dishes in sauce.
