Information
About the producer

Domaine Amirault's history goes back nearly 180 years. The same family has been cultivating these vines on the Clos des Quarterons in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil for six generations. Today it is Xavier Amirault's turn to manage the estate. He took over from his brother Thierry, who is 15 years his senior. The vineyard spans 32 hectares and is biodynamically cultivated (Demeter certification since 2010). The wines are raised in the Vau Renou cellars, a large tuffeau stone quarry that is several hundred metres long. In the cellar, vinifications are long and meticulous. The wines are raised for a minimum of 12 months in demi-muids or foudres. The wines are neither filtered nor clarified and are defined by their fruit and very fine grain tannins.

About the wine

Xavier Amirault has been using biodynamic methods since 2013 in his exploitation of a parcel of Cabernet Franc vines to produce this cuvée. The sandy soils of the surface and the clay-rich subsoil lend this wine joyful notes of light, fresh red berries which will make the perfect accompaniment to an apéritif. The perfect maturity of the hand-harvested grapes, and the rigorous selection methods implemented by Xavier Amirault – both on the vine and in the cellar – are evidence of the grower's attention to detail.
