The producer
Who are they?
Marcel Martin est une marque associée à la Vallée de la Loire et aujourd’hui rattachée à Lacheteau. Sa gamme parcourt plusieurs appellations et styles de la région, notamment le Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine et le Saumur. Pour Le Premier Verre, son intérêt est surtout très concret : proposer des bouteilles accessibles, faciles à trouver et simples à comprendre. La Sablette en est un bon exemple, avec un Muscadet sec, vif et léger qui permet de découvrir le Melon de Bourgogne sans transformer l’achat d’une bouteille en exercice compliqué.
Their approach
What sets them apart.
Accessible wines
The range focuses on cuvées that are easy to understand and offered at prices that let you discover a region or an appellation without waiting for a special occasion.
Several entry points to the Loire
Muscadet, Saumur and other appellations let you explore different grape varieties and styles of the Loire Valley with simple reference points.
Everyday wine
Here the goal isn't to seek rarity: rather, these are straightforward, available bottles that can become good first reference points.

Le Premier Verre
Why we follow them.
Because a good discovery doesn't need to be rare or expensive. La Sablette is exactly the kind of bottle we like at Le Premier Verre: simple, fresh, widely available, and able to make you want to learn more about Muscadet and the Loire.
