An exceptional terroir shaped by the sea and the slopes
The vines are spread over around forty plots, mostly planted on east-facing slopes. This exposure offers generous sunshine from the morning, while preserving a natural freshness thanks to the sea breezes from the Mediterranean.
The slight altitude of the estate tempers the strong summer heat and favours a slow, regular ripening of the grapes. The soils alternate between:
Red sandy-gravelly soils over sandstone, bringing finesse and aromatic expression.
Brown limestone over soft limestone, guarantors of structure and depth.
The harvest begins in September and stretches until mid-October, allowing precise work, plot by plot, grape by grape.
An estate steeped in history, rooted in the long term
Chateau Saint-Martin-de-la-Garrigue is a place inhabited by history. The vineyard is organised around a 9th-century Romanesque chapel and a Renaissance chateau, mainly built in 1557, transformed and embellished over the centuries.
Each generation of winegrowers has managed to preserve the soul of the place while adapting it to its time. This continuity is felt in the wines, through a strong, sincere and deeply Mediterranean identity.
18 grapes to express the diversity of the Languedoc
The richness of the estate rests on a remarkable grape mix, with 18 varieties grown, including 10 reds and 8 whites. This diversity makes it possible to explore all the nuances of the terroir and to offer a complete, balanced and accessible range.
The whole vineyard is farmed under reasoned agriculture certified Terra Vitis, guaranteeing practices respectful of the environment, the soils and the vine.
In the cellar, the winemaking combines tradition and modern technologies to preserve the fruit, the freshness and the identity of each plot. The estate produces on average 300,000 bottles a year, distributed in France and internationally.
