Frédéric Mabileau
Frédéric Mabileau
Grape growing in the Mabileau clan dates back to 1620. After 400 years of intertwined history, the grapevine is an established member of this family. The current estate under Frédéric was started in 1988 when he planted vines in the Les Rouillères plot in Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. Since that first planting, the estate has seen a merger with the estate of Frédéric’s father, a conversion to manual harvest, a conversion to organic viticulture and a conversion to biodynamic principled farming. Obviously not afraid to improve on 4 centuries of experience and history, Frédéric is making the best wines ever produced under the Mabileau name. These are classic Loire Valley wines: crisp and clean with density, focus and personality.
