The Estate and the Vineyard

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

The Reuilly Rouge is made from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from a 3.3-hectare plot located in the lieux-dits Montcocu, Les Thaumiers, and Les Coignons. The grapes undergo cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is aged on fine lees for 8 months.
