Description
La Porte Dorée – the Golden Gate – is without a doubt one of the best expressions of dry Romorantin with Hervé Villemade’s Les Acacias. This cuvée comes for 80% from a specific vineyard called “Porte Dorée” : there is more clay, the soil is cooler, the limestone is closer. The oldest vines are 60 years old. Because of the late ripeness of this plot, and its concentration, it is always aged in barrels to tame the powerful acidity and help with the aromatic development. It is usually bottled just before harvest.100% Romorantin.
– Pascaline Lepeltier
