Château YVONNE - Cuvée Yvonne - Rouge 2017
Château Yvonne is a property located in Parnay, in the Anjou-Saumur appellation, and covers 13 hectares of vines: 9.5 hectares of Cabernet Franc and 3.5 hectares of Chenin Blanc. The estate has known several owners since its creation in 1996 and has been managed by Mathieu Vallée since 2007. The vineyard has been cultivated organically since 1997, and biodynamically since 2012, on a terroir of sands and tuffeaux.
Château Yvonne rouge is made from Cabernet Franc, cultivated in Saumur-Champigny on a limestone soil of Tuffeau. The vinification is carried out in concrete vats of 38 hectolitres with indigenous yeasts for 4 weeks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 225-litres barrels, 20% of which are new. Aging takes place in three stages: 12 months in barrels, 6 months in casks and 3 months in vats.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
