2022 Château Yvonne Saumur-Champigny Rouge, Loire Valley, FranceABOUT THE WINE The 2022 Saumur Champigny is made from biodynamically farmed Cabernet Franc grown on limestone and clay soils near Parnay, where vines average over 40 years of age. Chteau Yvonne works entirely by hand in the vineyard, using cover crops, composts, and no synthetic inputs to foster soil vitality and vine balance. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts in concrete and wooden vats, followed by aging in used barrels for 12 months.

His father had been producing estate bottled wines since 1964 and joined the Club Trésors in 1985 Jean-Paul has slowly developed the estate in the last 20 years to one of the very finest grower estates in the Marne
