Domaine Martinelli

Located in the northern Rhône Valley, Domaine Martinelli stands out within the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Its terroir, ideal for Syrah and Marsanne, yields wines that are both elegant and expressive. The red wines reveal notes of black fruit, licorice, and spice, while the whites particularly the “Poésy” cuvée are marked by floral freshness and stone fruit aromas. Though little is known about the estate’s origins, its name and regional roots suggest a family-run structure grounded in tradition. Modest in size, the domaine reflects the artisanal spirit of Crozes-Hermitage, where sustainable viticulture is commonly practiced. Without official details regarding its founding year, vineyard area, or cultivation methods, Domaine Martinelli remains somewhat discreet. Yet its wines convey true expertise and an authentic interpretation of the Rhône terroir.
