Clos Saint Martin

Clos Saint Martin is a vineyard created in 1850. With a surface area of two hectares and a little less than one and a half hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is undoubtedly the smallest of the classified growths of Saint Emilion. Its remarkable location, in the heart of this exceptional terroir and surrounded by four First Classified Growths of the appellation, also makes it one of its most precious jewels. Find out more

The winemaker

The Producer


Sophie Fourcade, the owner, is the descendant of a great family of winegrowers in Burgundy. Indeed, the Reiffers owned several large wine estates since the 17th century, including Le Clos Saint Martin. These family properties were sold to the Cuvelier family in 2013.

However, Sophie Fourcade, who is particularly attached to Le Clos Saint Martin, which she has been running since 1998, has bought back the majority of the shares. She claims to grow her vines in her micro vineyard, like "a priest's garden."

The Estate


Clos Saint Martin enjoys an ideal location on the southwestern slope of the limestone plateau in the Saint Emilion Grand Cru appellation. The vines are on average 35 years old, planted in well exposed clay-limestone soils. Many investments are planned concerning the cellar, plantations and the renovation of the Presbytery. The estate is open to wine tourism and can be visited by appointment.

The practices implemented mix traditions and modern processes to serve a production of very high quality. Thus, the grapes are harvested by hand, the vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats and the malolactic fermentation and then the maturation are made in new barrels only.

Clos Saint Martin wines


A limited production, but of exceptional quality

To the great regret of connoisseurs, the surface area of the estate only allows for a small production of 5,000 bottles, made using sustainable agriculture.

Le Clos Saint-Martin, Grand Cru Classé in the Saint-Emilion appellation is an exceptional cuvée, made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The predominance of Merlot gives an elegant and velvety wine, with a dark color and fine notes of licorice. It also has an excellent ageing potential of 10 to 50 years.
