Why do we love Chateau Yvonne La Folie 2010? How can’t you fall in love with a wine that smells violet tea, gooseberry, cherry and green pepper. You simply can’t! If you are a fan of Cabernet Franc like us then this wine will definitely become one of your favorites.
Chateau Yvonne winery is located in Loire valley, in a house that has been a winery since 1813! In 1997, Yvonne and Jean-François Lamunière who were passionate about wine and organic farming, took possession of the winery. With enthusiasm and passion, they cultivated the vineyards and became the soul of the region. So, in 2007, when Mathieu Vallée became the owner, in respect for their passion and work, he chose to keep to the same name! La Folie is a Cabernet Franc from the famous appellation Saumur - Champigny and comes from 15-50-year-old vines. The wine ferments in cement tanks with indigenous yeasts and then matures in large oak foudres for 12 months, while part of it is aged for 4-5 months in French oak barrique barrels. Silky tannins and incredibly impressive bouquet are the ones that will put it right in your heart.
Something so beautiful is usually rare, isn’t it? Of course, it is!
