Press Review

Lush and alluring black fruits swim from the glass, before plunging into a rich palate. Intended as the most easy drinking of the Amirault wines, this has nevertheless good length and concentration.

- Jim Budd, Decanter

Overview

Cote 50 is the entry-level wines from Yannick Amirault coming from 4.75 hectares of vines on gravelly clay and sandy soils in Bourgueil – Les Sables, La Coudraye, Les Pins, and Les Perrières. It is a vibrant and easy-drinking Bourgueil and a testament to the joys of Cabernet Franc at the table.
