“The 2023 vintage offers floral Cabernet Francs with a depth that promises good aging potential (La RVF)”

“Le Grand Clos 2023 boasts a rich purple hue, much more vibrant and intense than the other 2023 vintages. It has a lot to offer. It is silky and reveals aromas of ripe blackcurrant and raspberry. The clay component of the clay-siliceous soils gives it a velvety texture that gives way to a mineral and iron-like finish. It is smooth, round, and more approachable than many Grand Clos vintages at this stage. You can, of course, wait, but you can also enjoy it right now to savor its youth and supple tannins.” (Vinous 2025).

Wine rated (2027 guide) 94/100

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Made from old vines, their wines stand out for their refined textures and fresh, elegant aromas. Malgagnes and Le Grand Clos have established themselves as essential benchmarks in the Loire region.

About the estate:

Yannick and Benoît Amirault are perfectionist winemakers who made a natural transition to organic farming. They cultivate 19 hectares of Cabernet Franc, two-thirds of which are in Bourgueil and the rest in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, with a rich heritage of old vines in each area.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100

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 wine:

The 2023 vintage offers floral Cabernet Francs with a depth that promises good aging potential. Le Grand Clos, meticulously crafted with a refined mouthfeel, is a wine worth revisiting in 20 years.

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.

About the wine:

Tasted from the tank on the very day it was bottled, the Grand Clos 2023 displays a rich purple hue, much more vivid and intense than the other 2023 vintages. It has a lot to offer. It is silky and reveals aromas of ripe blackcurrant and raspberry. The clay component of the clay-siliceous soils lends it a velvety texture that gives way to a mineral and iron-like finish. It is smooth, round, and more approachable than many Grand Clos vintages at this stage. You can, of course, let it age, but you can also enjoy it right now to savor its youth and supple tannins.
