Description
The Château Clos Saint Martin Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) comes from a beautifully situated 1.33 hectare vineyard on the clay-limestone slopes opposite the village cemetery and bordering Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse. The Clos St. Martin has a beautiful ruby red colour with aromas of cherries, wild berries, violets and subtle spices on the nose. Full, deep and layered, lively and sparkling, with a meaty core of fruit, powdery tannins and bright acidity, finishing with a long, precise finish. It is a blend based on Merlot, supplemented with around 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked in four separate harvests and fermented in barrel, simply because such small volumes are difficult to vinify in tank.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

The 2020 Clos St. Martin is a rich, modern Saint-Émilion, offering up aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, plum liqueur and creamy new oak, followed by a full-bodied, broad, muscular palate with a jammy core of baked fruit flavors and plenty of structuring oak tannins. Readers more tolerant of over-ripeness will appreciate it more than me.

Mint chocolate, kelp, bark and blackcurrants on the nose. Touch of sandalwood and sweet spice. Chewy, firm tannins, with a full body and a compact and dense core of spicy black fruit. A little intense and extracted right now but with fantastic length and concentration. Give it time to come together. Try in 2027.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Clos Saint-Martin is quite simply a different wine from what I tasted en primeur. Racy and yet super-finessed, the 2020 is a Saint-Émilion of exquisite beauty. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon and rose petal are all beautifully delineated. Medium in body yet deep, with mind-blowing balance, Clos Saint-Martin is a flat-out stunner.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
Since tasting from barrel, the 2020 Clos Saint-Martin has gained more composure on the nose with black cherries, cassis and fresh fig. This has achieved some breeding. The palate is medium-bodied with plush, ripe black fruit, a graphite element not in situ in barrel, tensile with a gradual build on the finish. This deserves a more generous score. Tasted twice four months apart yet with consistent notes.
