Château Yvonne Saumur-Champigny Rouge 2020
Yvonne Rouge is the original red wine produced at the domaine from the exceptional terroir around Parnay. It’s one of the finest Cabernet Francs from the Loire, and has the seemingly indefinite ageing potential of all truly great wines. Certainly enjoyable on release, it will greatly benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar, and continue to improve for many more.
It impresses with a nose of cherry, kirsch aromas; its finely structured palate combines balance and freshness with a final chalky pop to a fine Cabernet Franc slender and elegant.
