Frédéric Mabileau
Domaine Frédéric Mabileau has 27 hectares of vines in production. Aware of the imperatives of sustainable agriculture, he decided in 2007 to convert his entire vineyard to organic farming, and today holds ECOCERT certification. In August 2020, Frédéric Mabileau died suddenly in a microlight accident.

Domaine Frédéric Mabileau sits on a terroir composed mainly of sand and gravel. A large proportion of the vines, between 35 and 50 years old, are well rooted, allowing them to tap into the very heart of the soil. The gently sloping hillsides produce more opulent, structured wines. The neighboring Bourgueil, on the other hand, offers more clayey soils, resulting in fuller-bodied wines.

To respect the integrity of the grapes from vine to vat, Domaine Frédéric Mabileau harvests the entire vineyard by hand, and sorts them on two successive sorting tables (before and after the destemmer). The result is fleshier grapes that ripen better, balancing acidity to produce supple, round, concentrated wines. One of Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil's must-visit addresses!

"Straight in its boots and without artifice" Le Guide Hachette 2025 "

"This cuvée has benefited from the long macerations that give the wines their silky textures. That's exactly what the tasters felt, charmed by the elegance and suppleness of this energetic Saint-Nicolas, bursting with fruity flavors (cherry, black fruit), with supporting woodiness and melted tannins. "Straightforward and unpretentious", the jury summed up." (Le Guide Hachette des vins 2025)

"The archetypal St Nicolas de Bourgueil!

On a special sandy-gravel terroir, this cuvée is where it all began for Frédéric and Nathalie. This fresh, crisp pleasure wine carries us away in a pretty basket of red fruits. Les Rouillères is the estate's emblematic cuvée, simple and pure. A must-have in your cellar!

"Remarkable accuracy!

Eclipse is the densest and noblest of the estate's cuvées, made from the finest hillside plots. It delivers notes of ripe fruit, with a hint of licorice, and a dense, powerful palate, full of freshness and balance, with a disconcerting length. A choice cuvée for the finest vintages only!

"Cuvée hommage

Cuvée Fred, a tribute to Frédéric Mabileau, is a fine expression of carbonic maceration, using whole, intact bunches of grapes. Beautiful whole grapes, gently vinified and never crushed. A lovely thirst-quenching wine, in memory of this outstanding winemaker!

"Aged eighteen months in demi-muids, this dark-red Bourgueil is lightly oaked. Full-bodied with a benevolent fruity roundness, it reflects the virtues of Cabernet and a siliceous-clay terroir." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)
