WINE | FRANCE

Located in Parnay, Chateau Yvonne has been surrounded by vineyards since the middle ages, when the monks at the Abbaye de Fontevraud brought their influence to the region. The Chateau dates to the 16th century, but not much is known until 1813, when a local winemaker moved in and began producing wine on site. In 1997, Yvonne et Jean-François Lamunière decided to recreate the abandoned vineyard with the help of Françoise Foucault (of the famed Clos Rougeard).

In 2007, Mathieu Vallée took over, and decided to keep the name Chateau Yvonne in hommage to the incredible work done by the previous owners. Today the domaine is one of the best producers in Saumur, composed of 4 hectares of Chenin Blanc and 9 hectares of Cabernet Franc, farmed organic since 1997, and biodynamically since 2012. Vineyard work is done manually here, with Mathieu making as little manipulation as possible. Only native yeast are used, and the use of minimal sulphur at bottling. All wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
