More info

Château Yvonne surprises us once again with this Cabernet franc from the Saumur-Champigny appellation. These vines are grown in chalk-rich soil and harvested by hand before being transported to the winery in small boxes. The domain chooses to vinify in 50-hectolitre concrete vats where the indigenous yeasts get to work for four weeks. The wine is matured for a year in 38-hectolitre foudres.
In the glass this cuvée has a ruby red bouquet, a nose carried by notes of red and black fruits, and a fine palate structured by silky, supple tannins.
We recommend serving this cuvée with a dish involving grilled meat, for example.

About the Producer Château Yvonne

Mathieu Vallée has been running Château Yvonne located right in the heart of Saumur Champigny since 2007. Son of a winemaker, Vallée looks after his eleven hectares of vines (three white and eight red) which are divided into 28 parcels and planted with Chenin and Cabernet Franc. Organically certified since 2007, the work in the wine cellar is also very natural, with as little intervention as possible. Fermentation take place using indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation is spontaneous.
