Chateau Yvonne

Brand's website: Chateau Yvonne

Chateau Yvonne is located in Parnay. The chateau is surrounded by vineyards dating back to the Middle Ages. The chateau dates back to the 16th century, but not much is known about it until 1813, when a local winemaker moved in and began producing the first real wine. In 1997, Yvonne et Jean-François Lamunière decided to put the abandoned vineyard back together with the help of François Foucault. In 2007, Mathieu Vallée took over and decided to keep the name Chateau Yvonne in honor of the incredible work of the previous owners. Today, the Domaine is one of the best producers in Saumur, managing 3 hectares of Chenin Blanc and 8 hectares of Cabernet Franc - grown organically since 1997 and biodynamically since 2012.
