LA PORTE SAINT JEAN - Sylvain Dittière - La Porte Saint Jean 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 Porte Saint Jean Rouge is a Cabernet Franc made from the purchase of grapes from a certified organic winegrower with whom Sylvain Dittière has worked since the beginning. This is the only La Porte Saint Jean négoce wine. The wine is aged in barrels of 1 to 3 wines from Clos Rougeard and Château Haut-Brion (70%) and the rest in vats for 18 months.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
