THEN & NOW

Connections, Discovery, and a Shared Love of Wine

Nearly fifty years ago, Martine’s began by bringing the best of a new generation of French winemakers to a nascent American market with a hazy notion of French wine. Vignerons like Rayas and Jayer who were already on the lists of France’s finest restaurants and elevating viticulture to an art form.

That’s still what we do. Anchored in Burgundy, Martine’s ethos has never changed. Whether it’s a young vigneron making fresh and easy Pinot from the Côtes D’Auxerre or a Chambertin so rare it’s made in a single, specially sized barrel, we seek out the producers who treat winemaking as both craft and art—and then we bring their wines to the people who’ll truly appreciate them. Our Private Client Services grew naturally from these enduring relationships as a more personal way to share the remarkable wines, places, and people we’ve come to know over the years.

Through access, expertise and experiences that are difficult to find anywhere else, we give serious wine lovers a direct connection to the people, places and bottles that shape French wine. From discovering a new producer to finding a rare bottle, visiting a vineyard, or building a cellar over time, we’re here to make collecting wine more personal, more connected, and more enjoyable.
