Yannick Amirault is widely regarded as one of Bourgeuil's top producers. His wines express the inherent fruitiness of Loire Cabernet Franc without any over exposure to wood. His wines generally have soft tannins and great extract.

The Les Quartiers vineyard has some very old vines …

We discovered Philippe Pichard a few years ago and were mesmerised by a simply fantastic collection of cuvées. Philippe is the sort of vigneron that we like to ‘discover’ - someone who is very much on the way up and whose wines have not been subject to investigation by ‘well-known’ US …

The Touraine is notable for its success in growing Gamay outside its usual stronghold of Beaujolais. Here it produces soft, light fruity reds which are very refreshing especially when served slightly cooler.

Saint Nicolas De Bourgeuil, Les Graviers

This les Graviers cuvée comes from meagre, gravely soils situated to the north of the village and his 2005 is a brilliantly quaffable wine bursting with strawberry fruit. It is velvety and lush on the palate which makes the wine extremely appealing and approachable now. Drink 2006 to …

The Pichots’ run of recent vintages has produced a wonderful collection of dry, demi-sec and sweet wines. This is the longest established estate in Vouvray (est. 1739) and their current reputation has been built on their obsessively low yields and rigorous triages during the harvest - the …

The word Moelleux here means sweet. This wine has a rich, caramel/honeyed concentration pervasively underscored by a mouth-freshening acidity. Pair with subtyl sweet puddings or, for something more savoury, a ripe blue cheese like Roquefort. This can be drunk now but, if properly …
