Wine Description:
Château Yvonne Saumur-Champigny La Folie is an exquisite wine that embodies the essence of its Loire Valley origins. With roots in a historic 16th-century estate, this wine benefits from the meticulous care of three hectares of Chenin Blanc and eight hectares of Cabernet Franc, some vines dating over 80 years old. Hand-selected by Françoise Foucault in 1997 from prestigious Clos Rougeard vineyards, the estate practices certified organic and biodynamic agriculture, emphasizing sustainability. This approach includes planting trees among vines to enhance biodiversity. The result is a wine with elegant red fruit flavors, silky tannins, and a persistent finish—a testament to the unique terroir and meticulous viticulture at Château Yvonne.
