Yannick Amirault St Nicolas de Bourgueil "La Source" 2022, 750ml

Situated on sand and gravel terraces around the village of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, this area has the most draining and early conditions of the estate. The vines are, on average, 45 years old, and the soil is fully tilled.

The grapes are 100% hand-harvested and undergo double sorting with destalking (no crushing). Alcoholic fermentation occurs in open vats with a soft maceration period of three weeks. The wine then rests discreetly in oak vats for 5 to 10 months.

Tasting Note:

A typical St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil raised with our exigency. A tonic and lively style, slightly spiced with peonie notes.
