Chateau Yvonne La Folie Rouge Saumur Champigny 2023 (750ML) Castillon - Côtes de BordeauxA combination of old vines (dating to the 70s), a cool climate, and hard, limestone rich soils contribute to the understated elegance of this wine. The soils have more limestone, and some old barriques are used in the lvage. Mineral driven, with slightly grippy tannins, we love this wine for its complexity and savoriness. Its still easy drinking, and theres still plenty of joy, but if you want, you can stop and think about this one for a few moments

Excellent for this price

The weather in the second week of June enabled optimal flowering

with notes of peach

A twist of tangerine underscores notes of sweet apricot and juicy peach for a thoroughly refreshing

“normal”

hazelnuts and toasted bread
