Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is the largest Muscadet sub-appellation, named after two small rivers south-east of Nantes, with Vallet as its wine capital. It is made from Melon de Bourgogne, which spread here after the great frost of 1709. Many wines are bottled sur lie, straight off their lees, and the AOC dates from 1936.
