The estate's spearhead, Cote 50 expresses the conviviality of Cabernet Franc, with a refined structure and intense fruit. Profile 2023 is balanced and straightforward, with an easy structure and smooth tannins. Ideal for drinking young, this organic wine is emblematic of the Bourgueil appellation.

About the domain :

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2025) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
Rated 50, a dapper, youthful Bourgueil, to be drunk by 2027-2028, with charming contours.
About the domain :
Benoît joined the Bourgueil family domaine in 2003 to continue the family adventure initiated by his father Yannick in 1997. The vineyards are divided between Bourgueil (two-thirds) and the neighboring Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellation. You can sense the winemakers' perfectionism and their desire to restore the expression of terroirs through very silky, civilized Cabernet Francs that still retain their bright fruit. The estate has been certified organic since 2009, and each year the wines gain in purity thanks to increasingly accurate vinification (truncated wooden vats, stoneware barrels and jars). The 2022 and 2023 delight us with their frank, clean expression and finesse.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 27/06/2024
As remarkable as ever for the consistency of its wines, Amirault delivers a beautiful, expressive Bourgueil with a strong sense of identity in this taut 2023. Highlighted by a fine acidity providing restrained freshness, the full, long palate is dominated by a particularly rich aroma of very ripe, crunchy fruit supported by lovely, supple, melted tannins. The finish has a fine, silky texture. Good R.Q/P. Already irresistible in its youth, Côte 50 2023 can be enjoyed with great pleasure with simple, everyday dishes, such as thick slices of braised Vendée ham and mojettes with tomato. Score = 4.
