Château Yvonne - Cuvée La Folie 2023
Château Yvonne is a property located in Parnay, in the Anjou-Saumur appellation, and covers 13 hectares: 9.5 hectares of Cabernet Franc and 3.5 hectares of Chenin Blanc. The estate has had 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 aeolian sand and tufa.
La Folie 2023 is made from Cabernet Franc from 7 plots whose terroir is clay-limestone on lake limestone or "Pierre de Champigny". Vinification is carried out in 50 hectoliter concrete vats with indigenous yeasts for 3 weeks. One vat was vinified with whole bunches. Malolactic fermentation and aging last 12 months in truncated wooden vats.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
" Pure nose of raspberry, sweet pepper, and violet. Juicy, straight, silky-grained palate with a very salivating limestone finish. A crystalline, unadorned Cabernet Franc with incredible drinkability."
