Domaine des Martinelles
Domaine des Martinelles sits in the Northern Rhône, where steep granite slopes and continental climate shape some of France's most demanding wines. The winery focuses on Hermitage, the region's most prestigious appellation, working with the classic varieties of the north: Syrah for red wines of structure and depth, and the white grapes Roussanne and Marsanne that thrive in these conditions. The Nadia et Pascal Fayolle Hermitage, made from Roussanne, and the Hermitage Blanc, built on Marsanne, represent the winery's commitment to white Hermitage—wines of mineral precision and aging potential. The red Hermitage, based on Syrah, carries the power and complexity the Northern Rhône is known for. Decanter and Wine Spectator have rated these wines.
