Chateau Martet Reserve de Famille 2020

94 Points - Andreas Larsson. Château Martet sits in the Sainte-Foy Côtes de Bordeaux, a tucked-away appellation between Saint-Émilion and Monbazillac, where the right-bank terroir produces wines with both character and finesse. The Réserve de Famille is the estate’s flagship cuvée, made from the best parcels and crafted with meticulous care. The 2020 shows the estate at its polished, expressive best. Generous, structured, and built for both enjoyment now and cellaring.

Taste

Plush dark plum and blackberry, with hints of mocha, spice, and cedar. Fine, ripe tannins give structure without heaviness, leading to a long, smooth finish. Concentrated yet balanced, it’s a Right Bank red that delivers charm, depth, and impressive consistency.

Vivino Rating: 4.4 (Dec 2025)

Wine Press Ratings

94 Points - Andreas Larsson (2020 Vintage)

"Intense and alluring nose displaying a modern profile with fine oak, toast and coffee bean notes paired with ripe dark fruit. The palate is dense with a good level of concentration getting a fine lift of freshness from grainy tannin and fresh acidity. Unctuous and layered with a fine spiciness, dense and meaty with a really long and powerful finish. A modern and muscular wine, yet within the frames of elegance."
