Marcel Martin Chenin Blanc, Vin de France, NV

Grape: 100% Chenin Blanc, unoaked

The Marcel Martin range of wines offer tremendous value – and not just in staple varieties. This Chenin Blanc has all the crispness you would expect with attractive notes of lemon blossom, pear, pineapple and hazelnut hints. It is refreshingly different and showcases the Loire’s premier grape.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"It's hard to ask for more from a Loire Valley Chenin Blanc in this price range. Produced by Marcel Martin, a wine merchant based in La Sablette, a village near Mouzillon in the Loire Valley, this lively and vibrant Chenin Blanc displays a clear, golden yellow color of good intensity. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas reminiscent of honey, pear, peach, and apricot, which give way to notes of sweet almonds and a discreet hint of flint. On the palate, we recognize a Saumur of good volume with a fairly ample, rounded attack with a noticeable richness that is offset by a welcome freshness. The wine is dry, well-structured, and displays the character of the appellation on the aromatic level. The overall result is both convincing and elegant. A good buy!"
