This beautifully-balanced, organic and biodynamic Cabernet Franc shows exactly what the Loire Valley can achieve with this capricious grape, in skilled, sympathetic hands. The late Frédéric Mabileau, a hugely talented winemaker, was a great champion of the terroir of St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil. The familly and their team are continuing his work to produce a distinctive style, both ripe and mineral.
"One of the wine world’s best kept secrets, St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil produces some exceptional full–flavoured Cabernet Franc. Made organically by the late, great Frédéric Mabileau, this wine shows unusually generous ripe red and forest fruit on the nose, with a refreshing acidity and delicate mineral finish on the palate."
