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.
