Classic Haut-Medoc, with Cabernet Sauvignon dominating, Merlot supporting and both Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc rounding out the blend, Chateau Martin's 2011 offering, from what was one of Bordeaux's most upside-down growing seasons ( first hot-dry, then cool-wet, finally hot-dry again), matured around 8 months in barrel, 30% of which was new oak. Traditional, balanced and true.
