Château La Martinette

Château la Martinette symbolises the meeting of the authenticity of one of the oldest estates in Provence, founded in 1620, and the commitment of a team to the demands of an exceptional know-how. In the Var, between Lorgues and Le Thoronet, 47 hectares of organically farmed vines are preserved by 350 hectares of forests, lavender and olive trees and crossed by the river Argens. On a clay-limestone soil, various grape varieties, including those traditional to Provence, thrive, such as Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle, Cabernet-sauvignon and even Tibouren. Thanks to its 1,700 olive trees, the house produces oil according to the traditional and current method. The estate also produces honey and runs a vegetable garden. As far as the work in the vineyards is concerned, everything is done to get the best out of the grapes by opting for hand-picking and sorting and by adopting gravity work. Château La Martinette is distinguished by its rosé wines (70% of the production) but is keen to develop its range of reds and whites. For the time being, Château La Martinette already offers 9 cuvées divided into 3 ranges: "Rollier", for those who like freshness; "Château", the estate's signature; and "Parcellaire", which magnifies the terroir.

Our story

Founded in 1620, Château la Martinette is constantly evolving. Its rich past is leading it to a present of rebirth for a future of excellence. Having belonged to a local lord for centuries, its new owners, lovers of Provence, wanted to give back to this property the dimension it had in the 19th century. Today, in addition to the vineyard, olive trees, lavender and honey are grown, all with the greatest respect for nature. Our wines are so successful that they have received several awards and have long since crossed the French borders. They are present in Belgium, Hong Kong and Quebec. At the Concours des Vins de Provence, a gold medal was awarded to the Clos blanc 2017 and a silver medal to the Château rouge 2018. The Château rouge 2018 was awarded 2 stars and a coup de coeur by the Guide Hachette 2020. We are also finalists for the Trophées de l'Oenotourisme organised by the magazine Terre de Vins in the category of Architecture and Landscapes.
