Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Yannick Amirault known for?
Yannick Amirault is renowned for crafting exceptional red wines made primarily from Cabernet Franc, one of the Loire Valley’s signature grape varieties. The estate focuses on terroir-expressive, single-vineyard wines that reflect the complexity of the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellations. These wines are typically medium-bodied, with lifted aromatics of red berries, herbs, violet, and graphite, supported by fine tannins and bright acidity. Amirault is especially praised for his commitment to biodynamic farming and minimal-intervention cellar techniques—practices that result in wines of great purity and vibrancy. While the primary focus is red wine, Amirault has occasionally crafted limited-production rosé or white cuvées, but it is the structured, elegant reds that define the domaine. These wines are respected by sommeliers, collectors, and wine enthusiasts for their depth, authenticity, and sense of place.

Where are Yannick Amirault wines made?
Yannick Amirault wines are made in the Loire Valley of France, specifically within the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellations. These neighbouring regions are located along the northern banks of the Loire River, west of Tours. The vineyards benefit from a temperate climate and a diverse range of soils—including gravel, sand, and tuffeau (soft limestone)—which give the wines nuance and complexity. The estate has been certified organic and follows biodynamic principles, with a strong focus on soil health and biodiversity. The grapes are harvested by hand, vinified using native yeasts, and aged primarily in used French oak barrels. The wines are often unfiltered and unfined, further preserving their natural expression. This artisanal approach, combined with exceptional vineyard sites, makes Yannick Amirault a benchmark producer of Cabernet Franc in the region.

Are Yannick Amirault wines affordable?
Yannick Amirault wines are generally regarded as excellent value for money, especially given their pedigree, organic certification, and artisanal production. While they aren’t at entry-level pricing, they remain accessible when compared to premium wines from other French regions like Bordeaux or Burgundy. For wine lovers seeking expressive, site-driven reds with structure and finesse, Amirault’s wines offer an affordable gateway into serious Loire Valley Cabernet Franc. The range includes several cuvées at different price points—from more fruit-forward bottlings meant for earlier drinking to structured, age-worthy wines that reward cellaring. Their pricing reflects the careful farming, small-scale production, and traditional methods employed throughout the winemaking process. Ultimately, Yannick Amirault wines are seen as a smart choice for those who appreciate authenticity, quality, and elegance without the luxury label markup.
