Why not set off to discover one of the best-kept secrets of the southern Rhône Valley? Nestled between the majestic Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux, Domaine La Martinelle stands out as one of the region’s finest hidden gems.

Founded in 2001 by Corinna Faravel, a passionate German winemaker who fell in love with French wines and trained under the renowned Marcel Richaud, the estate produced its first vintage in 2004 in Lafare. After 21 vintages spent mastering the rich and diverse soils, which date back several million years, Corinna has developed an intimate understanding of her terroir and her vines. This extensive experience and her unwavering commitment are reflected in a modern, respectful and deeply dedicated approach to viticulture.

Today, the wines produced at Domaine La Martinelle are amongst the most elegant, refined and balanced in the entire region. Thanks to rigorous and precise winemaking techniques – characterised by the partial use of whole bunches, which brings freshness and lightness, and ageing in large wooden or concrete vats – these AOC Ventoux and Beaumes-de-Venise wines express remarkable purity. True exemplars of contemporary wines, these flavourful and refined wines are a treasure trove of balance, to be discovered without further delay.
