In 1977, Yannick Amirault created his own Domaine with 3.9 hectares of the Malgagnes vineyard. He was later joined by his son Benoit and together, they have expanded the Domaine to 20 hectares. The Domaine is certified organic.
Rosé d'Equinoxe is made with grapes from various plots depending on the vintage conditions, including Cote 50 and the bottom of Le Grand Clos.
This rosé is a fabulous food wine, almost like a blanc de noir. The juice undergoes whole-cluster pressing and is then left to settle overnight before being transferred to 400L French oak barrels for both fermentation and aging.
This wine has a creamy mouth feel with hints of brioche. Its natural acidity, characteristic of Cabernet Franc, creates a delightful lingering taste. While it is lively and vibrant in its early stages, it can develop into a more delicate and refined wine with aging, developing a beautiful amber hue.
