Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

You have never had a Ventoux rouge as concentrated and complex as this one, simply because no other domaine in the region is as diligent and serious as Martinelle is. Saturated black fruits and baking spices, with cinnamon and licorice at the fore, dominate the nose; the mouth is velvety and deep, with poached cherries and plums, blackberry jam and lots of black pepper. Rich and ripe with good balance and grip. A serious, supple southern red blend (primarily Grenache and Syrah, with amounts of young Mourvèdre and Cinsault) with impressive staying power.

Nadia and Pascal Fayolle are the third generation to manage their 48 acre family property. Their prized Hermitage vineyards are on ideal south-facing slopes with 30-to-40-year-old vines. The Fayolles began estate-bottling their Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage wines with the 2003 vintage. Prior to that year, they were major suppliers to many renown Northern Rhone negociants.

With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.
