Domaine Yannick Amirault Le Grand Clos Bourgueil Rouge AC – 2022
CHF 29.90
This 100% Cabernet Franc was grown on one of the best terroirs for red grapes in the Loire Valley; a south-facing vineyard with 50 year old vines on limestone soils historically classified as a 1er Cru by the Abbey of Bourgueil.
This is rich, fruit-packed and at the same time very fresh and structured. Elegance and power, delicious floral and spice hints to the ripe red fruit flavours, long finish. It will improve in bottle over at least five years.
Winemaking
100% hand harvesting.
Double sorting of the grapes with destalking (no crushing).
Alcoholic fermentation in cone oak vats, skin maceration over 4 weeks.
Ageing for 14 to 20 months (75% in 400L casks, 25% in sandstone eggs).
The vintage
2022 was an outstanding vintage! Hot and dry. The grapes have a unique level of maturity and a beautiful aromatic concentration. The clay-limestone soils give full-bodied, intense wines which will appeal to spice lovers!
