Yannick Amirault Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil La Source 2023
91 Points - Chris Kissack. La Source is a vibrant, terroir-driven Cabernet Franc from sandy-gravel soils. It offers fresh blackcurrant and red berry aromas, underpinned by subtle graphite notes. On the palate, fine tannins and lively acidity create a poised structure, leading to a clean, mineral finish. A classic Loire red with the balance to enjoy now or cellar for a few years.

Taste
The Yannick Amirault Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil La Source is a compelling expression of Loire Cabernet Franc. Aromas of blackcurrant, crushed raspberry, and graphite lead to a palate that’s both vibrant and structured, with fine tannins and a streak of fresh acidity. Red berry and earthy spice notes linger through a precise, mineral finish. Accessible now, but with the depth to reward a few years in the cellar.
