The nose of the 2021 Clos Martinet is amazing, very different, perfumed, elegant and nuanced. I wondered why, and there was an explanation. In 2021, it had a shorter vinification, and part was fermented with carbonic maceration and matured mostly in concrete (like in 2009, when it was 100% in concrete, a one-off) and the rest in a 2,000-liter oak foudre. There's a lot of Garnacha (65%) and the vineyard is quite warm, so they had to find a way to equalize it down. It has 13.5% alcohol and a vibrant palate that is fine-boned and elegant, full of energy and an electric sensation of lightness. It's tasty and makes you salivate, with an almost salty touch. This is an amazing vintage for Clos Martinet. 16,696 bottles, 216 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2023.
Mas Martinet is the project from the Pérez Ovejero family, where they work 25 hectares of vineyards and produce 60,000 bottles. They learned a lot from the 2021 vintage, a year with plenty of water (more than the actual rain total, because there was 60 centimeters of snow that didn't compute in the annual rainfall), and they discovered that they could keep the character of the wines with less ripeness in the grapes. There are two wines that were denied the appellation of origin because they don't reach the minimum alcohol required by the appellation - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate, May 16, 2024.
