The wine
This introduction to the domaine's wine, produced on a parcel with clay, silt and limestone soil, has been aged for 20 months. It is velvety and silky and the bouquet boasts a wealth of dark berry notes, flowers such as violets, and spices. It can be enjoyed alone or paired with roast chicken and pan-fried vegetables.
About the Producer La Porte Saint Jean
Sylvain Dittière learnt the ropes with influential winemakers: from Gauby to Thierry Germain, Château Yvonne and finally Clos Rougeard. It's therefore natural that this talented producer – son-in-law of the late Charly Foucauld – set up shop in 2011 in Montreuil-Bellay. He chose the domain for its very cool cellars, ideal for long élevages. He makes red and white wines which showcase the purity of his fruit and masterful élevages.
