Description
The domaine spans 5 hectares of vines, including 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Chenin Blanc, situated on south-easterly facing slopes surrounding an ancient house and deep tuffeau caves. The terroir, characterized by porous tuffeau bedrock with pockets of sandstone and clay, contributes to the distinctiveness of the wines. Kaya has embraced Caillard’s philosophy of long élevages, though the first wines under the Jardins de la Martinière name, from the 2018 vintage, were only released in 2023. This blend of tradition and thoughtful innovation is evident in the domaine’s offerings, where younger releases pave the way for future wines that will benefit from extended aging, honoring the legacy of this remarkable estate.
