Domaine Amirault, le Clos des Quarterons
Le Clos de la Gaucherie Bourgueil 2024
Bourgueil | Red | 2024
Produced from one of the last historic “Clos” in the Bourgueil appellation, Le Clos de la Gaucherie comes from a vineyard of just over 4 hectares located in the town of Restigné. This unique terroir, characterized by a predominance of Turonian marly chalk, gives the wine depth and finesse, while faithfully reflecting its origin.
This 100% Cabernet Franc stands out for its late harvest, which allows the grape variety to express itself fully. Vinified with precision and minimal intervention, then aged in demi-muids for about 14 months, it develops an elegant structure and beautiful aromatic complexity.
A true expression of its terroir, this cuvée perfectly captures the identity of the Clos: a wine that is at once deep, delicate, and imbued with a certain poetry.

Domaine Amirault, le Clos des Quarterons
Located in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Clos des Quarterons is a family estate rooted in the region for over 180 years. It is currently managed by Xavier Amirault and his wife Agnès, who cultivate approximately 30 hectares of vines within the appellation's strictly defined area.
The vineyard benefits from a particularly favorable environment: a forest to the north protects the plots from cold winds, while south-facing slopes provide consistent sunshine. The soils exhibit significant diversity, blending gravels, tuffeau directly exposed in the limestone, and deeper areas with a predominant clay composition. This geological variety necessitates precise plot-by-plot management.
The estate is managed using organic farming practices, complemented by a progressively integrated biodynamic approach, with particular attention paid to vine observation and soil vitality. Vinifications are conducted plot by plot to preserve the specific characteristics of each terroir.
