Domaine Amirault Crémant de Loire Les Quarterons NV Review
Domaine Amirault is a sixth-generation family owned winery in the village of Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil in France’s Loire Valley. The estate focuses mostly on Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc across their 53 plots, two varieties that define the soul of this region along with the majestic castle that surrounds it. This wine comes from a 93 acre vineyard, Les Quarterons, just inland from the river. The wine is subtle on the nose with a beautiful texture on the palate. The persistent perlage and a deep, grippy mouthfeel is a testament to the inherent characteristics of the varieties blended into the wine. The fruit depth is spot on and the balanced finish lingers.
