Details

From our Distributor:
Since 1620, the MABILEAU family has worked in the vines. In 1900, René Mabileau participated in the Paris Universal Exhibition.
Over 300 years later, inspired by his father Jean-Paul Mabileau, Frédéric Mabileau also discovers the pleasures of cultivating grapes and making wine. The beginning of his wine adventure was in 1988 when Frédéric Mabileau planted this first vines of cabernet france on a parcel, owned by his wife Nathalie, called « Rouillères ». From 1991, date of his first production of Rouillères, to 2003 Frédéric shared the winery with his father. During this period, they shared their experiences, observed each other and sometime disagreed but only in the pursuit of the best product.And this transition time gave birth in 1996 to this fascinating cuvee Eclipse, the flagship of the domain. Until 2003, when his father retired Frédéric had grown his own small estate to 10 ha (24 acre).

At this time, the two domains became a single entity. Conscious of the rich diversity of soil that his vineyard had to offer, Frédéric Mabileau started a long study of all the different terroirs in order to create his own individual line of wines. The « Graviers » cuvee, at the origin of Jean-Paul’s domain was kept. Then, Coutures made from the oldest vines of the vineyard, and « Racines », a small parcel planted by Armand his grandfather, was decided to be exclusively produced on clays and limestone from Clos Lorioux.

Today, in our garden of 28 hectares (70 acres), we give our best to produce soulful wines. With the combination of tradition and modernity, we offer multi-faceted wines from the Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil, Bourgueil, Saumur and Anjou appellations,… the fruit of rigorous efforts, vinified in full respect of each grape.
