The winemaker's pride
Château la Martinette symbolizes the encounter between the authenticity of one of Provence's oldest estates, founded in 1620, and a team's commitment to the highest standards of expertise. In the Var region, between Lorgues and Le Thoronet, 47 hectares of organically-farmed vines are surrounded by 350 hectares of forests, lavender and olive groves, and crossed by the Argens river. A variety of grape varieties, including traditional Provençal varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle, Cabernet-sauvignon and even Tibouren, thrive on the clay-limestone soil. Thanks to its 1,700 olive trees, the estate produces oil using both traditional and modern methods. The estate also produces honey and runs a vegetable orchard. As far as vineyard work is concerned, every effort is made to get the best out of the grapes, opting for hand-picking and gravity-fed sorting.
