Pouilly Fumé Aoc La Rochetais Marcel Martin

Marcel Martin has done it again with superb Sauvignon Blanc. Hailing from the famous Pouilly-Fumé area in the Upper Loire, it has been designated AOC thanks to the wonderful Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in this area.

This wine is a prime example of some of the best from Pouilly-Fumé. It is light, quite dry, and acidic. It presents many fruity tones and is quite refreshing. Indeed, if there were ever a wine well-suited for summer, this would be it. To the eye: the wine presents light straw yellows with green tints. On the nose: a very floral, fruity wine, presenting notes of lemon and minerals. On the palate: notes of lime and lemon are present, with hints of apple and peach to finish. It is a fresh, crisp, light wine that is a beautiful refreshment on a hot, balmy afternoon.

For pairing, this wine partners best with lighter dishes. Perhaps a nice herb chicken, or a fresh tomato quiche with garden salad. This wine is also delicious on its own, while enjoying the playful summer breeze that cools your neck while looking out over the countryside.
