The cuvée Mélodie de vieilles vignes from domaine Vincent Gaudry has a very open nose with notes of pear and white fruit. The material is superb, energetic and mineral. Very good length.

L'ile 4 sous is a Saumur-Champigny from Chateau Yvonne more accessible and less structured than the cuvée La Folie. This organic wine delivers immediate pleasure with intense fruity aromas. A pretty bottle to be enjoyed at 18°.

CloseIn a superb 2023 vintage, château Yvonne has produced a superb cuvée La Folie. The wine is rich, with very intense fruit. As always with this cuvée, we recommend decanting 2 hours before tasting, or storing for 3 to 5 years in a temperature-stable, high-hygrometry cellar.
CloseThe Grand Vin Rouge du Château Cazebonne is the estate's flagship cuvée, representing the most accomplished expression of its terroir. Produced from the best plots, the Grand Vin Rouge is mainly composed of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This organic wine develops intense aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and spices, the result of barrel ageing. The palate is both full-bodied and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish.

CloseL'abeille de Fieuzal rouge is a superb Pessac-Leognan red, fruity and full of energy. This is Chateau Fieuzal's second wine, which requires more time to taste. A great success for Chateau Fieuzal in this balanced 2019 vintage.

CloseThis is one of the fine cuvées from Château Yvonne in white that has made the estate's letters of nobility. In 2022, the wine is rich with notes of citrus and yellow peach. The woodiness will mellow after a few years of cellaring to give this great wine its full complexity.
CloseThe Château Yvonne red is a great Saumur - Champigny, with great delicacy, fine tannins and great elegance. It features notes of red fruits and has a good ageing potential of around ten years. Bravo.
