Yannick Amirault took over his grandfather’s vineyards in 1977, at the age of 22, and was joined by his son Benoit in 2003. They farm 19 acres, with the vineyards divided between Bourgueil and St. Nicolas de Bourgueil, and the entire domaine has been certified organic since 2009, with no chemical sprays or weed killers used since 1997. All the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. “La Mine” is 100% Cabernet Franc from vines that are forty years old. As demonstrated here, the Amiraults make a serious, complex, long-lived version of this grape, one with classic red currant and herbal notes on a firm, fresh, elegant palate.
