The cuvée Saumur Les Cormiers consists of pure Cabernet Franc. This cuvée is made from vines at least 40 years old that were recovered in 2012. We are in the area between Saumur and Doué La Fontaine and the soil is predominantly sandy clay with 60% pebbles (in turn formed by limestone and flint) from the Jurassic period.
Ageing involves contact with yeasts for 30 months.
The nose is complex, floral and deep. On the palate the wine is very intense, combining depth with a silky (also given by the tannins) and delicate feel. A wine of great energy.
La Porte Saint Jean
Sylvain Dittiere is a young boy who has gained his experience in wineries of the caliber of Gauby, Thierry Germain, Chateau Yvonne and finally the Domaine of the Focault Brothers, Clos Rougeard. After numerous researches in 2011 he found in Montreuil Bellay a cellar carved into the rock perfect for his idea of wine: long refinements to enhance the terroir in wines. The first releases are immediately explosive, the long refinement and a balance to be scary, show an exciting hand of the young winemaker who at the beginning buys grapes, waiting for their first plants to be ready. A true talent that vinifies chenin blanc and cabernet sauvignon in the most natural way possible.
