The 2017 Yannick Amirault Bourgueil Le Grand Clos is a testament to the Amirault family's long-standing commitment to organic viticulture and expressing the unique terroir of Bourgueil. The estate, certified organic since 2011, focuses on 100% Cabernet Franc, with vines averaging 45 years old in the renowned Le Grand Clos vineyard. This hillside site, with its clay and flint soils over limestone bedrock and southern exposure, is known for producing wines with depth, refined structure, and significant aging potential. In terms of tasting, the 2017 vintage offers a complex profile. Expect soft mentholated and rosewood marks, alongside a thick and unctuous tannic frame balanced by a salivating acidity. Other notes include forest berries, dry stones, currants, and exotic spices. It is typically medium-bodied with fine, textural tannins, a bright character, and succulent fruit meeting a mineral frame that carries through to a dense and flavorful finish. 【Certified organic viticulture and a focus on expressing the unique terroir of Le Grand Clos】. 🍴 Food Pairing: This savory and classic red Cabernet Franc pairs beautifully with beef and venison.
