"A gourmet rosé—absolutely delicious!"

"Made from direct pressing and aged in barrels, Yannick Amirault’s 2022 Rosé d’Equinoxe (made exclusively from Cabernet Franc) exudes a fresh and lively bouquet with aromas of flowers, peach, citrus, star anise, red berries, and spices, followed by a taut and energetic palate—juicy and fresh—and a delicate, long, and penetrating finish. The acidity, which underpins the entire wine, is vibrant and refined.” (Wine Advocate 2023)

Wine rated 90/100

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Benoît arrived at the family estate in Bourgueil in 2003 to continue the family venture started by his father, Yannick, in 1997. Two-thirds of the vineyard is located in Bourgueil, with the remainder in the neighboring appellation of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. You can sense the winemakers’ perfectionism and their commitment to expressing the terroirs through Cabernet Francs that are silky smooth and refined, yet retain vibrant fruit. The estate has been certified organic since 2009, and the wines gain in purity each year thanks to increasingly precise winemaking techniques (truncated-cone wooden vats, barrels, and stoneware jars). The 2022 and 2023 vintages delight us with their frank, clean expression and finesse.
