About this wine

Marcel Martin Les Roches Noires is a crisp, mineral-driven Muscadet from the prestigious Sèvre et Maine appellation in the Loire Valley , France , crafted from 100% Melon de Bourgogne and aged on its lees for added texture and complexity. A benchmark expression of sur lie Muscadet, it offers freshness, finesse, and a subtle saline finish that makes it one of the world's great white wines for seafood. Why You'll Love It Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is the heartland of the Muscadet appellation, producing wines of greater depth and mineral precision than any other part of the region. The sur lie method, in which the wine is aged on its fine lees for several months before bottling, is the traditional hallmark of the finest Muscadet, imparting a delicate creaminess, subtle yeasty complexity, and a characteristic saline finish that makes it the definitive partner for oysters and shellfish. Marcel Martin's Les Roches Noires is a consistently excellent expression of this classic style. Vineyard & Production Melon de Bourgogne grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured on their fine lees for several months, a traditional sur lie ageing method that enhances mouthfeel and aromatic depth while preserving the wine's natural vibrancy and freshness. Bottled directly off the lees to capture the wine at its most expressive. Tasting Notes Pale lemon with green reflections in the glass. The nose reveals aromas of citrus, green apple, and wet stone. On the palate, it is dry, zesty, and refreshing, with bright acidity, a touch of salinity, and a clean, mineral finish of real length and precision. Perfect Pairings The definitive partner for oysters, mussels, clams, and other shellfish. Also pairs beautifully with grilled white fish, sushi, and light vegetarian dishes, making it a go-to wine for seafood lovers and fans of crisp, elegant whites. Grape Varieties Melon de Bourgogne 100%
