Clos Saint Martin
Just off the historic heart of St.Emilion, Clos Saint Martin sits behind its walls like a miniature Grand Cru Classé—only 1.33 hectares, yet fiercely complete in identity. Documented since the early 1800s and owned by the same family line since the mid‑19th century, the estate embodies the idea of a true “clos”: contained, protected, and obsessively precise.
On the clay‑limestone soils of the limestone plateau, Merlot and Cabernet Franc root deep, balancing ripeness with a cool mineral core. Vinification is handled in micro‑lots, with “integral” fermentations carried out directly in barrels and, increasingly, in terracotta jars to shape texture without masking terroir. Ageing favours patience over polish—fine-grained structure, quiet tension and the kind of understated elegance that makes Saint‑Émilion feel timeless.Clos Saint Martin
