Request a Case OrderThe Ferme Saint Martin vineyard is located in the small village of Suzette right at the top of the Beaume de Venise Appellation Controlee. The domaine covers 89 acres of land, 56 of which are planted with Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah for the reds and Roussane and Clairette for the whites. The vines face south on a very dry and rocky terroir built in terraces between altitudes of 800 and 1600 feet. The wines are certified organic and follow very natural and strict methods of grape growing and winemaking. The most important is the natural treatment of the soil and the vine, with no chemical spraying and manual harvesting, all wines are unfiltered.
Guy Julien at La Ferme Saint-Martin has gradually turned over the reins to his son Thomas. They are crafting some of the most aromatic wines.
Certified Organic
50% of the vineyard in biodynamic conversion
AOC Beaumes de Venise - 25-50 years grown at 1,500 feet in Suzette on limestone and clay soil
Certified organic wine, no pesticides or herbicides. The first selection takes place during the initial grape picking. A second selection of the grapes is made before they are crushed. The quality of the wine is determined by this selection. A very small quantity of sulfates is added to the grapes in order to facilitate the bottling, transportation and preservation of the wine. The maceration lasts 21 to 28 days, the aging 18 months in half neutral oak barrels 2 to 10 years old. Wine is unfiltered and estate bottled.
2017: Complex aromas of blackberry and red fruits, garrigue, violet and mint. Mostly black fruits on the palate with hints of blueberry, provencal herbs and citrus.
