Domaine Amirault/Clos des Quarterons Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil | 2022

Located in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil in the Loire Valley, Domaine Amirault's Clos des Quarterons is a whopping 92-acre vineyard, farmed biodynamically and certified globally by Demeter. The soils of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil are sandier than the soils of Cabernet Franc strongholds like Chinon or Saumur-Champigny. So, the wines from Saint-Nicolas tend to display a featheriness on the palate, that irresistible lift and glide which makes you reach for another glass. Vinified and aged in tank, Les Quarterons is a light-hearted expression of Cabernet Franc with oodles of fresh raspberries, violets, red plums, and purple spice. ~Allegra A
