Clos Martin
The Clos Martin brand is owned by Millesimes & Tradition. Essentially the company is a management company that looks after the stocks of a number of domains and bottles them under the Baron de Lustrac label. Now under the supervision of cellar master Jose Barbe, they have created the ‘Clos Martin’ brand.
The domains that supply the spirit for the range are completely traditional, producing congener rich spirit from the floral and elegant Folle Blanch grape in old column stills with a handful of probably rarely cleaned plates, giving a distillate of around 52% abv, which I would guess, judging from the rich, honeyed style see’s a longer than average length of time maturing in new oak before being transferred into older casks. Spirits that make up the VSOP are aged for between 8 and 10 years and for the XO, 15 to 20. And as my notes attest to the quality of that spirit is exceptionally good.
