Château YVONNE - Le Gory 2018
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.
Le Gory is made from Chenin Blanc from a 0.15-hectare plot on Tuffeau limestone soil. The harvest is put in direct pressing for 3 hours and then settled for 1 to 2 nights in vat. Fermentation takes place in barrels, followed by aging also in barrels, completed for three months in vats before bottling.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
