Only 1 in stock
The 2021 Saumur Blanc from Château Yvonne is a stunning expression of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc, full of finesse and quiet power. Nestled in Parnay, in the Saumur appellation, Château Yvonne farms just 11 hectares biodynamically, with vines averaging 40 years old and rooted in limestone and tuffeau soils that give the wine its signature mineral backbone.
The 2021 vintage was cool and challenging, but those who got it right—like Château Yvonne—crafted wines of elegance and precision. This Chenin shows layered aromas of ripe pear, quince, crushed stone and a gentle smokiness. The palate is textured and taut, with lively acidity, a saline thread, and impressive length.
It’s the kind of wine that rewards attention—and pairing it with roast chicken, buttery sole, or a wild mushroom risotto makes it sing. Serious but not stuffy, it’s one for the dinner table or the cellar.
