LA PORTE SAINT JEAN - Sylvain Dittière - Les Cormiers 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.
Les Cormiers is made from Cabernet Franc whose age is around sixty years old. The vinification is carried out in concrete vats then the juice is transferred by gravity into Bordeaux barrels where the wine is aged for 18 to 24 months.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
