Frédéric Mabileau, a renowned producer from the Loire Valley, is celebrated for crafting expressive and elegant wines that reflect the region’s diverse terroirs. The Frédéric Mabileau Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a vibrant and structured wine, sourced from vineyards in the Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil appellation, an area known for producing some of the finest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the Loire. The 2017 vintage offers a great balance between ripe fruit and refreshing acidity, showcasing the elegance that can be achieved with Cabernet Sauvignon in a cooler climate.

Appearance: Deep ruby red with purple highlights, showing vibrancy and concentration.

Aroma: The nose is aromatic and refined, with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, complemented by earthy undertones of graphite, tobacco, and a hint of green bell pepper, typical of Loire Cabernet. Subtle touches of spice, such as black pepper and cloves, add complexity.

Taste: On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with flavours of ripe black fruits, including blackcurrant and plum, balanced by savoury notes of earth, tobacco, and a touch of dark chocolate. The tannins are smooth yet structured, providing a fine backbone, while the wine’s bright acidity ensures freshness and a clean finish.

Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering dark fruit and earthy notes, along with a touch of spice, showcasing the wine’s balance and aging potential.

Food pairing: This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with roasted meats, such as lamb or beef, where the wine’s tannins and dark fruit complement the richness of the dish. It also works well with hearty stews or grilled vegetables, where its earthy, savoury notes enhance the flavours of the food. Aged cheeses like Gouda or cheddar would also be a fantastic pairing, highlighting the wine’s complexity.
