The history of the house is the product of a family tradition that has combined artisanal patience and scientific attention: Francoise Martinot and Charles Dufour have built a small winery over the years where every gesture in the vineyard, from pruning to harvesting, becomes a choice of quality, a promise of purity of fruit and consistency with the AOC designation that certifies the regional identity. The production philosophy is based on a simple yet rigorous approach: growing healthy grapes in an environmentally balanced environment, harvesting them at the perfect level of ripeness, fermenting with naturally occurring yeasts, and aging in used wooden barrels—a process that supports the structure without dulling the fruitiness. Minimal cellar management is favored, allowing for the grape's characteristic aromatic profile, mineral nuances, and intrinsic freshness. Distinctive elements and uniqueness emerge from the memory of a defined terroir, where the tannic texture unfolds slowly but not heavily, the depth of the fruit remains lucid, and the lengthy finish carries hints of undergrowth and pepper, with a distinct minerality that acts as a glue between immediacy and ripeness. Balance is the true signature, transforming a bottle into a moment of exploration of the vineyard and the season. Stylistic and sensorial characteristics are described narratively: the intense ruby ​​color opens the scene, accompanied by aromas of ripe cherry, notes of violet, and a spicy delicacy; On the palate, it reveals a defined body, velvety tannins, and a savory character that invites you to linger, without ever giving in to excessive structure. The wine's role in the range: this offering is one of the house's central expressions, a benchmark of authenticity that dialogues with other reds and a refined dining vocation, designed to accompany meat dishes, mushrooms, and aged cheeses, while also offering an elegant backdrop for moments of gastronomic contemplation. A final statement consistent with the STELT positioning: in line with STELT, it is a choice with a sober and authoritative character, capable of accompanying without ostentation and remaining memorable for its sensorial precision and refinement.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francoise Martinot \u0026 Charles Dufour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778949427525,"sku":"FRAMAR-VINROU-CHA-11-075","price":115.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/francoise-martinot-_-charles-dufour-vin-rouge-2011-075.jpg?v=1773946668","url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/products\/francoise-martinot-charles-dufour-vin-rouge-2011-075","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
