2023 Chateau Yvonne Saumur-Champigny, Loire, France Gerard Duplessis one in Puligny-Montrachet (30+-year-old vines)Yvonne Rouge is the original red wine produced at the domaine from the exceptional terroir around Parnay known as La Cte". Its one of the finest Cabernet Francs from the Loire, and has the seemingly indefinite ageing potential of all truly great wines. Certainly enjoyable on release, it will greatly benefit from 3 5 years in the cellar, and continue to improve for many more.
