Another delightful scented and supple red from Benoit Amirault. This cuvee plays up the floral aspect of Cabernet Franc, with violets to the fore. Some blue fruit, then blackcurrant, tobacco and mocha. Succulent and smooth ripe tannins overlaid with scented berry fruits, lovely balance, with violets and tobacco scents on the long finish. L&S (Jun 2025)

Yannick Amirault took over three and a half hectares of vines from his grandfather 30 years ago, and today with his son Benoit works 12 hectares in Bourgeuil and 7 in St-Nicholas-de-Bourgeuil. The vineyards have been worked organically for 15 years and have been certified Organic since 2009. The family are seriously talented in the cellar and not shy of trying new things - the new Malgagnes cuvée which ages in their special Jarres are testament to this. Everything is hand harvested and hard work in the vineyards means only the very best fruit is brought in. Only natural yeasts are used, with fermentations being allowed as long as they need. These wines are crisp and bright with a dramatic purity - made as naturally as possible but without having any unsatisfactory 'natural' traits. Incredible quality here across the range.
Loire Valley Mixed 12
The Loire Valley Mixed 12: A Gastronomic Playground
The Loire Valley has long been known as the Garden of France. As global palates fatigue from heavily extracted and oak-laden wines, the savvy buyer is looking to the Loire for elegance, lightness, and extraordinary value. This region offers wines with energy, crystalline freshness, and a silky mouthfeel. We have curated a 12-bottle case featuring two bottles each of six exceptional wines. This collection serves as the ultimate dinner party toolkit, offering world-class precision without the premier price tag.
Inside the Mixed Case:
- CRÉMANT DE LOIRE ROSÉ Brut, Domaine des Hauts Perrays: A traditional method sparkling wine made from Cabernet Franc and Grolleau. It offers fine bubbles, a pale pink hue, and notes of crushed wild strawberry with a crisp, pastry-like finish.
- 2024 SANCERRE Silex Chavignol, Domaine Vincent Delaporte: A 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from the pure-flint soils of Chavignol. Expect a precise, citrus-driven palate underpinned by smoky minerality and a long, chalky finish.
- 2023 ANJOU Blanc, Château de Plaisance: A biodynamically farmed 100% Chenin Blanc from the dark volcanic schist of the Anjou Noir. It balances a creamy mid-palate with fierce, tangy acidity and dried apple aromatics.
- 2023 CHINON Les Granges, Domaine Bernard Baudry: A masterclass in elegance from a 100% Cabernet Franc vineyard. This red displays a supple, silky texture with ripe red berries and a refreshing graphite edge.
- 2022 SAINT NICOLAS DE BOURGUEIL La Source, Domaine Yannick Amirault: An organically farmed 100% Cabernet Franc grown on sandy-gravel terraces. It is wonderfully open, delivering crushed raspberries and delicate, peppery spice.
- 2024 POUILLY-FUMÉ, Domaine Hervé Seguin: A textbook 100% Sauvignon Blanc expression offering crisp green apple, gooseberry, and distinct gunflint tension.
This 12-bottle case comfortably surpasses our £150 complimentary delivery threshold, ensuring the shipping is entirely on us.
