Family run for 180 years, Xavier and Agnès Amirault are the latest generation to biodynamically farm 37 ha across 53 parcels in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil on the border of the Anjou and Touraine regions. The vineyards face south on gentle slopes and are made up of gravel, sand and clay over limestone. Cabernet Franc, locally known as ‘Breton’ is the dominant variety and in the winery Xavier adopts a pragmatic approach using both cement tanks and open top wooden casks for fermenting and both tanks and demi-muids for ageing. The emphasis here is firmly on elegance and finesse and in spite of their drinkability when young, they also age tremendously well.

Soft red fruits; plum and raspberry on the nose with hints of violets and cherry blossom. Beautifully balanced with savoury, herbal and mineral notes and the sweet red fruit, floral and sweet spice flavours on the finish.

Press Review

"Finely knit, showing beautiful balance between the savory, herbal and mineral notes and the sweet red fruit, floral and sweet spice flavors. Silky in texture and light-weight, but with good persistence and fine length. Elegant. Drink now through 2026."
Wine Spectator 2021

Press Review 2

"Generous red fruits are shot through with a fresher, cooler character from the chalk and flint soil. Rich tannins promise some more ageing." Wine Enthusiast 2019
