Château La Martellerie: family authenticity in the heart of the Côtes de Bordeaux

Château La Martellerie

A family estate of Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux, between the Gironde and the Charente-Maritime, 20 km from Blaye. 23 hectares of clay-gravel, the Lardiere family. Certified HVE and organic (2024 harvest). Reds, white and rose.

Located at the crossroads of two emblematic winegrowing departments, the Gironde and the Charente-Maritime, Château La Martellerie embodies the spirit of the great Bordeaux growths in a natural, family setting. Just 20 km north of the Blaye Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the estate spans 23 hectares of vines, farmed with passion by the Lardiere family.


A family estate between the Gironde and the Charente-Maritime

The vines are planted on clay-gravel slopes, favouring natural drainage and a fine aromatic concentration in the grapes. Since October 2020, Mael Lardiere has joined his mother Veronique to write a new chapter of the family history: together, they bring a modern, open dynamic while preserving the estate's founding values, high standards, authenticity and transmission.

A committed, organic-certified viticulture

Controlled winemaking, from vine to bottle

Faithful to Bordeaux tradition, Château La Martellerie vinifies, ages and bottles its wines directly at the property. Each cuvee expresses the typicity of the Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux terroirs, in a sincere, balanced style: cellar work that combines technical rigour and family sensitivity, for generous, expressive and elegant wines.

Aged in barrels, this wine offers structure and complexity. The label depicts the family house, shaded by a centuries-old lime tree and bordered by an inexhaustible well, a symbol of rootedness and vitality.

Château La Martellerie Blanc

AOC Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux white

Fresh and aromatic, this white, adorned with the family house and the lime tree, expresses the purity of the fruit and the minerality of the terroir.

Rosé de Camille

Vin rosé de France

A joyful, fruity cuvee dedicated to Camille, Veronique's daughter: a rose full of sunshine and tenderness, in the image of her smile and her joie de vivre.
