Frederic Mabileau ‘Fred'

Frédéric Mabileau “Fred” 2023 opens with bright, expressive aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, and crunchy cherry, lifted by violet, graphite, and a gentle herbal freshness that reflects the domaine’s biodynamic farming and Loire precision. The palate is juicy, supple, and wonderfully vibrant, offering pure red‑berry fruit supported by lively acidity and ultra‑fine tannins that keep the wine energetic and effortless. Subtle notes of pepper, crushed stone, and a whisper of earth add quiet complexity without interrupting the wine’s sleek, fruit‑driven core. The finish is fresh, lifted, and delicately savory, showcasing a joyful, impeccably balanced Loire Cabernet Franc crafted with Mabileau’s signature finesse and sense of playfulness.
