Aurélien Revillot
Aurélien Revillot produces Cabernet Franc from Bourgueil, the Loire Valley appellation renowned for structured reds built on the variety's mineral spine and dark fruit. The winery's portfolio centers on three expressions of this terroir: Grand Mont Bourgueil and Les Aubuis Bourgueil, both rated 92 by Wine Spectator, and Sur Les Hauts Bourgueil at 90. Cabernet Franc thrives in Bourgueil's cool continental climate and tuffeau limestone soils, where it develops the characteristic balance of tannin and acidity that defines the region's best work. These wines reflect the precision demanded by the Loire's conditions—elegant rather than opulent, with the mineral tension and red-fruit clarity that make Bourgueil a benchmark for the variety.
