“A Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil that’s pure elegance!”

« Des baies non foulées et 9 mois d'élevage en cuve bois tronconique pour ce cabernet franc solaire, aux effluves capiteux de fruits rouges très mûrs et de caramel. Ample, riche, longue, savoureuse, infusée de confiture de bigarreau, la bouche reflète une belle et gourmande expression du millésime.» (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2024)

About the estate:

With vineyards in Saint-Nicolas and Bourgueil, Yannick Amirault is one of the most reliable names in these two appellations. His son Benoît now cultivates the estate’s 19 hectares using organic methods.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100

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:

La Mine affiche l'expression pleine d'éclat du Cabernet Franc, un vin pimpant, proposant la tendresse fruitée de ce millésime en attaque et une finale un peu ferme. Laissez-le encore un an en cave.

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.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Arômes de fraises, de groseilles, de framboises, d'herbes et d'épices douces. Il est moyennement corsé avec des tanins ronds. Juteux et velouté avec une finale succulente. Issu de raisins de culture biologique. A boire ou à garder.
