Chateau Yvonne, Saumur Blanc 2020 Amarone

Chateau Yvonne, Saumur Blanc 2020 AmaroneA wonderful expression of Chenin Blanc on a more riper style. Expressive stone fruits, yellow apple, pear and nuances of white pepper. The wine is nuanced, supported by a resplendent Loire character and underlined with freshness and elegance.

The nose seduces with intense dried fruit aromas of raisins

On the palate it is full and generous

a chicory note and blood orange on the nose

spices and earthiness made from the Prugnolo Gentile grape

it has silky tannins

it does indeed translate as "choo-choo"

are offset by a hint of residual sugar that gives it this engaging fluidity

this stylish wine is beautifully balanced by refreshing palate which leads to a long finish

with hints of dark chocolate on the finish

It offers ripe apples and a hint of blossom honey

it is a very fine and structured Champagne

and black cherries
