Description
Château Yvonne’s Saumur Blanc is Chenin at its most refined — luminous, pure, and quietly complex. Born from the chalky tuffeau slopes overlooking the Loire, it glides between silken texture and mineral tension, its citrus brightness and saline finish giving both freshness and depth. A wine of precision and grace, equally captivating with seafood, seared scallops, or aged Loire goat cheese.
Yvonne Blanc opens with a gentle perfume of lemon zest, linden blossom, and white peach. The palate is expansive and layered, offering flavors of pear, golden apple, and acacia honey, framed by cool limestone minerality and a whisper of sea salt. There’s a remarkable balance between richness and verve — the mid-palate glows with creamy depth, yet the finish remains taut and crystalline, echoing notes of citrus peel, beeswax, and warm stone. Elegant, contemplative, and endlessly drinkable, this is Loire Chenin in its purest form — radiant, mineral, and alive.
