Today, the Marinière is an emblem of the French style thanks to Coco Chanel, Jean-Paul Gautier and others. But originally this garment was reserved for sailors. It was in 1858 that a State ordinance imposed an official costume on board ships. It is said that the stripes made it easier to spot a sailor who had fallen into the water, but in reality, they probably came from a specific weaving technique and an economy of indigo dyeing (very expensive at the time)!"
It owes its name to the two rivers that cross this ideal terroir for the cultivation of the Melon de Bourgogne grape variety. As for the mention "on lees", it indicates that the wine has spent the winter (no more and no less!) in vats on its fine fermentation lees, which gives it all its richness and aromatic complexity.
As an aperitif, it will perfectly match rillettes or small fish fries. As a starter, it will delight lovers of salmon tartars. Muscadet will satisfy lovers of seafood platters and grilled fish for the main course. For those who want to be exotic, we recommend sushi.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
