"In the glass, an easily accessible yet complex wine, with a frank nose of stewed red fruit, leather and undergrowth. Well-typed, structured by melted tannins, the palate is round and full-bodied, with flavors of candied cherry and bitter cocoa". (Le Guide Hachette 2023)

For me, Domaine Martin is in a class of its own as one of the most highly regarded Cairanne estates.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 21/02/2023
A remarkable Cairanne with very Mediterranean accents. Simple yet formidably effective, with a generous, powerful palate and great relief backed by present, yet supple and velvety tannins from which escape a flight of beautifully ripe red fruit, combined with notes of spice and white pepper. A background of cocoa and smoky flavors reinforces the opulent volume and persistent, caressing allonge that the 15% does not alter. To be cellared by the case, given its moderate price. Flesh and fruit enhanced a farm rabbit with prunes. Score = 4.
