Chateau Martet 2018 - Réserve de Famille

Sainte Foy Côtes de Bordeaux

Vinified by Louis Mitjavile

A true reference in the Sainte-Foy Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, La Réserve de Famille has made the reputation of the property.

A top-of-the-range wine, with a sensual smoothness and a great suppleness in the mouth. Notes of blackberries, truffles and round and velvety tannins offer pleasure and finesse. A must for a great Bordeaux wine.
