Loire Valley Yannick Amirault

Our committee's review

Balancing the generous, ripe Cabernet aromas with the refined touch of oak-aged winemaking, Yannick and Benoît Amirault continue their passionate exploration of Loire Valley reds through organic viticulture.

For nearly a century, their 19-hectare estate has thrived on the region’s limestone soils, crafting wines under the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellations. These wines are aged in barrels or sandstone jars, enhancing their depth and character.

Awarded 2 stars by the renowned French wine guide RVF, these meticulous winemakers capture the essence of their old vines with precision and finesse. The result? Reds that strike the perfect balance between heritage and vibrancy, delivering remarkable freshness and depth.

This 2023 Red showcases the lively, fresh fruit aromas of Cabernet Franc. Don’t miss this standout Loire Valley wine, available at a special price!

The estate’s signature wine, 2023 Red Bourgueil Côte 50, is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc, aged gently in large casks and sandstone jars to preserve its character. The nose reveals inviting notes of truffle, graphite, and ripe black fruits, bringing freshness and charm. On the palate, it’s rich and well-balanced, with smooth, ripe flavours and a subtle touch of graphite. The delicate aging keeps the focus on the fruit, making this a delicious, easy-to-enjoy wine—perfect for spring. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee.
