Another delightful scented and supple red from Benoit Amirault. This cuvee plays up the floral aspect of Cabernet Franc, with violets to the fore. Some blue fruit, then blackcurrant, tobacco and mocha. Succulent and smooth ripe tannins overlaid with scented berry fruits, lovely balance, with violets and tobacco scents on the long finish. L&S (Sept 2022)

Domaine Yannick Amirault
Yannick Amirault took over three and a half hectares of vines from his grandfather 30 years ago, and today with his son Benoit works 12 hectares in Bourgeuil and 7 in St-Nicholas-de-Bourgeuil. The vineyards have been worked organically for 15 years and have been certified Organic since 2009. The family are seriously talented in the cellar and not shy of trying new things - the new Malgagnes cuvée which ages in their special Jarres are testament to this. Everything is hand harvested and hard work in the vineyards means only the very best fruit is brought in. Only natural yeasts are used, with fermentations being allowed as long as they need. These wines are crisp and bright with a dramatic purity - made as naturally as possible but without having any unsatisfactory 'natural' traits. Incredible quality here across the range.
