LA PORTE SAINT JEAN - Sylvain Dittière - La Perlée 2018
Domaine La Porte Saint Jean is located in the village of Montreuil-Bellay, in the Anjou-Saumur region in the Loire Valley. It has belonged to Sylvain Dittière since 2011, after professional experiences alongside renowned winegrowers and estates: Gauby, Thierry Germain, Château Yvonne, Clos Rougeard… He operates more than 7 hectares of vines grown in certified organic farming. He uses a minimalist approach during winemaking and aging, uses very little sulfur and a gentle use of oak.
La Perlée is made from Chenin Blanc, from two plots of old vines (60 years and 90 years). The two plots are harvested and vinified separately. Aging lasts 24 months in barrels of several uses, and in demi-muids of 500 and 600-litres, a proportion of which is new.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
