The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Combining the fruity taste of ripe Cabernets with impeccable winemaking skills, Yannick and Benoît Amirault continue their exhilarating interpretation of the red wines of the Loire Valley, using organic farming methods. 

Combining the fruity taste of old vines with flawless virtuosity, these perfectionists have released the right vibrancy and signed a score of great wines of piercing freshness.
Wine Spearhead of the estate, the 2022 Red Bourgueil Cote 50 offers all the quintessence of a beautiful Cabernet, preserved by a low-intrusive maturation in tuns and jars. The perfectly ripe nose, between aromas of red bell pepper and black fruits, expresses all the freshness and nobility of a ripe and juicy Cabernet. The palate is superb, delivering a full, satin-like wine with rich tannins. A fresh and charming bourgueil of immediate pleasure, totally irresistible. Especially at this price level! Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested in small boxes, double sorting of the grapes with destemming without crushing, alcoholic fermentation in open vats favoring gentle macerations (3-4 weeks), discreet maturing in tuns and stoneware jars for 6 to 12 months aiming at preserving the brightness of the fruit.

Certified organic wine.
