Generous stone fruit and yellow apple, med-high acidity, minerality that balanced out the oak presence. good concentration for a round silky mouthfeel.

Jul 30th, 2022Chateau Yvonne Blanc 2018: Despite being youthful with a very bright future ahead is so moreish and delicious in its infant stage. Serve 10-12 degrees in your large burgundy glasses and even better after some time in the decanter. And most importantly, make sure to get som while its still available.
Dense concentration on the nose with grilled lemon, ripe peaches and nectarines, honey, blossom a very integrated oak profile and a chalky minerality.
A piercing and electric acidity dominates the palate and cuts through and brings balance to the a full body with a waxy and creamy viscosity. Pronounced flavour intensity with full presence through the complex mid plate. There is definitely a long and very serious finish but falls short from being a hall of famer.
A very smart craftmanship from the artisanal organic and biodynamic Chateau Yvonne, the Saumur Blanc went through malolactic fermenation and spent 12 months in oak (20%) new

Feb 21st, 2021Interestingly rough around the edges, with some bruised apple, wild honey, a rocky backdrop + some hay / meadow notes.
Nice presence on the palate, medium weight, juicy acidity, a touch of a tannic grip. Nice schmelz.
Apples, peaches, honey, a touch of bitter herbs.
Nice drinkability, loads of character & personality. Really nice!

Dec 8th, 2021Really good. Bright, long, fruit, with some complexity from that touch of oak.
