About the estate:
Frédéric Mabileau was one of the Loire Valley’s most iconic figures; he tragically passed away on Monday, August 31, in a microlight accident. He had taken over the entire 27 hectares of the family estate in 2003, with the help of his son, and had transitioned the vineyard to organic farming. Here, two types of soil predominate: clay-siliceous soils with a calcareous tendency, which produce the most taut and structured wines; and further down, on the terrace overlooking the former bed of the Loire River, siliceous, sandy, or stony soils—known as “graviers”—on which the vines thrive, yielding a fruitier and more indulgent wine. The Saint-Nicolas wines currently for sale embody the delicacy of the appellation’s wines: those from gravel and clay-loam soils offer a full-bodied yet silky texture, well-defined tannins, and straightforward fruitiness. The Rouillières wines charm with their juiciness and a very floral finish. For around fifteen euros, the Bourgueil Racines, grown on clay-gravel soil, produces one of the most well-rounded wines in its appellation. The Chenin-des-Rouillères showcases the grape variety’s charming side without compromising its character. It is now joined by Chenin-du-Puy, from the Saumur region, in the same vein. This is one of the top priorities at Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil!

About the estate:
A leading figure in the Bourgueil and Saint-Nicolas regions since settling there in 1991, Frédéric Mabileau built up a 35-hectare estate that has been farmed organically since 2007 and biodynamically since 2012. Following his accidental death in 2020, his son, Remy, took over the estate. Charly, his other son, opened “Chez Odette,” a restaurant dedicated to local and seasonal cuisine, in the estate’s courtyard.

Review and rating by Mr. JEROME M. Posted on 06/24/2026
It's good, but the slightly sparkling quality—probably due to CO2, I suppose, to compensate for the very low sulfur content—bothers me. This is the case with a lot of natural wines. That's why I'm only giving ours a 3.
