Chateau Yvonne Saumur Champigny 'Le Beaumeray' 2020 750ml

Biodynamic & certified organic. As part of a long-term vision to develop premier cru vineyards in Saumur, Mathieu Vallée introduced two single-vineyard wines – ‘Le Beaumeray’ for red and ‘Le Gory’ for the white. A total of .5ha from two plantings, one from the 1960s and one from ’99 (a selection massale from the famous ‘Le Bourg’ of Clos Rougeard). Native yeast fermentation in 38hl foudres for four weeks, then moved for a few months into oak barrels (20% new), then is aged in bottle for another year before release. Some of the vines for this cuvée may be somewhat young, but this site is of special provenance, and planted on some of the best terroir in La Côte. This is Cabernet Franc with a special sense of grace.
