The Estate and the Vineyard

The Domaine Mabillot is nestled in Sainte-Lizaigne, at the heart of the Reuilly appellation in the magnificent Loire Valley. Founded in the 1990s by Alain Mabillot, it is now passionately led by his sons, Matthieu and Renaud. The vineyard spans 8 hectares and is cultivated according to the principles of sustainable farming, highlighting the unique terroir of the region.

The Reuilly Rouge originates from a selection of Pinot Noir grapes harvested from a 3.3-hectare plot spread across the Montcocu, les Thaumiers, and les Coignons sites. The grapes undergo cold pre-fermentation maceration before being vinified in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on fine lees for a period of 8 months.
