Clos des Martinets develops great richness and finesse on the nose, offering aromas of red fruits marked by blackcurrant. On the palate, the tannins are elegant and refined, with roundness and richness, a lovely velvety texture and great depth. A wine with character, already very delicious!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2015 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Gilles Barge has been managing the Côte Rôtie appellation syndicate with great dedication for many years, and naturally puts his heart and soul into producing very distinctive wines. The vineyards are located in the heart of La Blonde and La Brune, with a spectacular plantation on Le Combard, accessible only by rail, as in the German Moselle region. Julien, his son, has joined him and will further refine the estate's style, which is characterized by slightly harsh tannins in the primeurs.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
4-star rated estate (Very high quality production)
About the estate:
Gilles Barge worked with his father Pierre from 1979 onwards, taking over management of the estates in 1994. His son Julien joined the reunited family business. The estate expanded, either through the purchase of plots or through rentals. The Côte-Rôtie vintages, which include 5% Viognier, are vinified from whole harvests and aged in barrels and demi-muids. The Combard 2009, from vines replanted since 2000 on a site with very heterogeneous soils (volcanic, etc.), uncultivated since the 1914-18 war, is presented to us in its third vintage.
