The Wine
The Côtes du Rhône is home to many rich, warming reds that can be serious bargains, and those entitled to the Villages appellation promise even greater intensity and fruit power. Such has been the quality in Rasteau that the area was promoted in 2010 to full AOP status, putting it on a par with Gigondas and Châteauneuf nearby. Indeed, Domaine Martin can claim a key part in securing this promotion. The property dates to 1905, when Julien Martin bought the 5-hectare estate. In 1947 his son Jules took over, expanding the vineyards and building a winery. Today it is run by David and Eric Martin, grandsons of the founder. The wine’s supple richness, weighty, oak-infused spice and herbal-scented dark fruit are perfect for rich casseroles or lamb.
