🏰【Crafted by winemaking wunderkind Sylvain Dittière, a protégé of the legendary Clos Rougeard, this 2020 La Porte Saint Jean La Perlée Chenin Blanc is a testament to Loire Valley purity and age-worthiness.】 Sourced from 60-90 year old vines and aged for 24 months in an ancient troglodyte cave, this wine offers a full, complex, and crystalline profile. Expect delicate spice, an elegantly bitter finish, and notes of honey, minerals, green apple, lemon oil, and flint, all underpinned by incredible acidity and pure energy. 🍴 This versatile white pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from rich roast white meats and braised preparations to fresh seafood, spicy cuisine, and fried foods. It's also an excellent match for stinky cheeses or scallops. 🥂 Perfect for an intimate dinner where a truly expressive and mineral-driven white wine is desired, or for a special occasion that calls for a wine with both power and elegance. Its aging potential also makes it a fantastic candidate for cellaring.
