Château Yvonne Saumur-Champigny

This is a wine for the hour when the light goes long and gold over a garden wall. Cool tuff cellars, crushed gravel, a bramble of red currant just past ripe. It drinks like something remembered rather than tasted: a little green pepper, a little violet, tannins soft as a held breath. Pour it for the reader who trusts a quiet house more than a loud plot.
