Domaine Yannick Amirault
Domaine Yannick Amirault is in the hands of a meticulous, perfectionist winemaker, Yannick Amirault. The Domaine Yannick Amirault vineyard covers 19 hectares in Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas, in the Loire Valley, and has been under biodynamic conversion since 2009. The vines of Domaine Yannick Amirault, planted exclusively with Cabernet Franc, are worked with the greatest care, in the old-fashioned way, with ploughed and grassed soils. Each plot is vinified separately, and the grapes, always of excellent ripeness, express the terroirs from which they come.

In the cellar, Yannick Amirault is an advocate of long vinifications. No must correction, fining or filtration before bottling. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 12 months in demi-muids or foudres. This work enables Domaine Yannick Amirault to produce wines of excellent quality in the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil appellations.

"An elegant Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil!

"Unpressed berries and 9 months' ageing in truncated wooden vats for this solar Cabernet Franc, with its heady scents of very ripe red fruit and caramel. Full-bodied, rich, long and flavorful, infused with bigarreau jam, the palate reflects a beautiful, gourmet expression of the vintage". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2024)

"Crazy charm!

Made from vines over 40 years old, Les Quartiers is a wine that expresses all the power of its grape variety, Cabernet Franc, planted in clay-limestone soil. Still in its youth, it has a very bright future... for those who know how to cellar it for a few years. Perfect balance between power, delicacy and freshness, magnificent!

"A gourmet rosé that's as tasty as they come!

"Direct-pressed and barrel-aged, Yannick Amirault's 2022 Rosé d'Equinoxe (all Cabernet Franc) exudes a fresh, lively bouquet of flowers, peach, citrus, star anise, red fruits and spices, followed by a taut, energetic palate that's juicy and fresh, and a delicate, long, penetrating finish. The acidity, which underpins the whole, is vibrant and racy." (Wine Advocate 2023)

"Still contained by its youth and ageing, La Petite Cave 2018 is moving more towards a solar balance, less fresh but still retaining a seductive velvety texture. More than fifteen years of cellaring will reveal it." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). A dense, deep wine, in a roasted style with black cherry and cocoa notes. The palate is both sanguine and refined, with a beautiful fatness that perfectly matches the powdery, racy tannins. This is a highly refined cuvée that is already very enjoyable when young. Great class for this cuvée of great terroir!

"Fruit in its purest expression

This cuvée, made from the estate's youngest vines, once again highlights the fine work of its creator, Yannick Amirault. The fruit is there, accompanied by superb substance and pleasant roundness. The ripeness of the grapes has a lot to do with it, as does the care taken in vinification. Delicious and supple!

La Coudraye shines with consistency, vintage after vintage. A consistently expressive Bourgueil, with delicate, slightly spicy notes of pomegranate and cranberry. A fresh, fruity wine, both crisp and delicious... A sure value to be discovered in a fine vintage!

3.7/5 (6 reviews)

Les Malgagnes Amphore is a selection from the cuvée of the same name, classically barrel-aged, which spends 12 months in clay eggs. Less tannic, it retains the original fruitiness of Cabernet and avoids the aromatic artifices of wood. A wine of great finesse!
