Comment

The Miailhe family, owner of the castle and eager to return to its roots, gives birth to Martillac in the heart of the Pessac Léognan the Château Carrosse Martillac. Indeed, for several years, the cultivation of the vine and the development of wine were the main activity of the family at the time of the Graves, long before the Pessac Léognan. The wine estate was abandoned in 1972, for a completely different activity: the cultivation of thrush. In recalling, on the wine label Château Carrosse Martillac, lily of the valley is through the coat of arms of the town of Martillac. The origin of the name Château Carrosse Martillac comes from a historic path in the town of Martillac: Chemin du Carrosse. At the time, this path served the castles of Thil, Smith Haut Lafitte and Rochemorin. Also, there is on this path the place called "La Salle", a place of operation of Château Carrosse Martillac.

Tasting

Of a dark garnet, the dress is promising and very deep. The fresh nose evoking black fruits (blackcurrant, redcurrant) is gradually opening up to agitation to give way to grilled, toasted and roasted notes, bringing complexity. The wine is supported by the provision of the breeding which respects the bouquet of fresh fruit. Freshness is noticeable as soon as the attack and then tight tannins come in support of the fruit. Powerful, tasty and delicious, the material announces a good potential dominated by freshness.
