Chateau Yvonne - Saumur Blanc 2022

The Yvonne estate itself is a special one, for those who don’t know it well: a history dating from the 16^th century, when the château was built by the monks at the Abbaye de Fontevraud; winemaking beginning there in the early 1800’s, and then a renaissance at the property a century later, with rehabilitation taking place in the 1990s. Since then, the 30 small parcels of vines totaling 13ha have been farmed organically, with many of the best vineyards located in ‘La Côte,’ or the plateau next to the church of Parnay overlooking the Loire.

Rich, round, and balanced profile with flavors of pineapple, citrus, and earthy tones.

Pair with roasted white meats, ham, fried foods.
