Vin de France La Perlée La Porte Saint Jean 2016
The wine
Sylvain Dittière, son-in-law of Charly Foucault (Clos Rougeard), produces a very fresh pure Chenin. It delivers an iodine bouquet which is delicately fruity and floral. It is surprisingly complex on the palate - simultaneously full yet direct, with a saline finish. This is a fine vin de France to enjoy within the next 10 years with delicate food such as premium fish.
About the Producer La Porte Saint Jean
★ Partner ProducerSylvain 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.
