Chateau Yvonne Saumur-Champigny 'Le Beaumeray' 2018 Loire Valley, France
Cabernet Franc
Loire Valley, France
Chateau Yvonne has it all: vineyards that date back to the middle ages, a cellar carved into the bedrock like some kind of Game of Thrones castle, and a true master winemaker in Matthieu Vallee. Both the reds (cab franc) and the whites (chenin blanc) are among the best examples of the true potential of their respective grapes. “Le Beaumeray” is a single parcel, a “premier cru” of Saumur, from vines that originated at Clos Rougeard’s legendary Le Bourg vineyard. It sees 20% new oak and rests in bottle for one year before being released. The wine is, at once, densely powerful and elegantly lifted. It’s fruity, it’s savory, it’s absolutely delicious. Not to mention, it’s biodynamic and sure to develop wonderfully with age.
