The Mabileau family have reportedly been making wine since 1620. They currently own 28 hectares in the Anjou and have been making wine following biodynamic methods since 2007, following their philosophy that as a grower it is their responsibility to maintain the equilibrium in their soils.

On the nose this displays delicate crunchy red fruit with a soft, leafy note typical of Cabernet Franc. The mid-palate has lovely pure red fruit flavours moving to a good freshness on the finish. A great wine for food matching. Drink now to 2019. Pair with a plate of charcuterie, duck dishes or even red mullet.

A classically pure and restrained white true to Andre Dezat’s style. It shows nuances of chalk and smoky flint on the nose and the palate has a lovely zing with leafy gooseberry and citrus fruit, moving to a pleasingly long and clean finish focussing on smoky minerality. The clement 2015 vintage has provided a reasonable full body and therefore this will be the perfect partner to meaty white fish such as Monkfish or Halibut.
