    Slightly more fruit and body thanks to warmer climates and riper grapes

    2021 La Porte Saint Jean “Les Pouches” Saumur Rouge (Loire Valley, FR) 3R

    Sylvain "TonTon" Dittiere, raised in a rose-growing family in Saumur, has cultivated his winemaking skills under the guidance of legends like Gerard Gauby, Marc Tempe, Thierry Germain, and Antoine Foucault. Returning to his roots, he now crafts exceptional Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. His approach combines intensive organic farming with meticulous grape selection. This minimally oaked Cabernet Franc reveals the elegant side of the grape, featuring blue and black fruit, chalky tannins, and vibrant, crunchy aromatics, making it a standout expression of the variety.

    Cabernet Franc is a dark-skinned grape variety of French origin cultivated in numerous wine-producing regions across the globe. It is best recognized for its significant role as a red grape variety in the Loire Valley and as the third most important grape in Bordeaux. Cabernet Franc is also a common component in many of the world's finest Bordeaux blend wines.
