Tasting Notes
The Clos Saint Martin is very pure and delineated on the nose the blossoms with Morello cherry, vanilla and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very cohesive with good mineralité, beautifully defined on the finish. This is a lovely Saint Emilion: polished and poised. Tasted April 2011.

Clos St. Martin, the smallest classified wine in the Bordeaux appellation comes from a 1.33-hectare vineyard. Planted to 7,000 vines/ha, with an average age of 31 years. The terroir is planted on clay and limestone soils over the limestone plateau. Smoke, mineral, licorice, oak, and jammy berry scents open to a supple, ripe, silky textured concentrated wine ends with a long fresh, black cherry, spice and licorice finish. winecellarinsider.com
Full body, with an dense fruit concentration and very polished tannins. Opens and gives you plenty. jamessuckling.com
This is a powerfully structured wine that will need time in bottle. Cherry aromas mixed with a chalky minerality. Long and persistent but balanced. Drink 2018-2035. James Lawther, decanter.com
