UN CYCLE À DEUX

In our family, winemaking is a passion that we pass on from father to son. I, Jean-Michel, soon followed my father’s footsteps, Alban, owner of the 10-hectare estate, Château Les Martins. In 1978, I created my own farm named Château Haut La Valette. In 2000, I brought the two wineries together to create one 24-hectare family estate. Today, the most satisfying is to work in tandem with my son, Cédric, who went through vine and wine studies and several professional expériences before joining me in 2008. All year long, following the cycle of vine and wine, our two personalities come together and our savoir-faire intertwine in order to keep boosting and perpetuating our dear family legacy.
