Tasting notes
The Domaine Frédéric Mabileau Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil 'Eclipse n°14' 2018 is described as a structured, fruity, and smoky Cabernet Franc with notes of ripe red fruits, a smoky edge, and fresh acidity from old vines on warm gravelly soil. It possesses a pure and elegant bouquet with hints of dark fruits, crushed stones, and floral notes, complemented by a juicy, well-balanced texture, fine tannins, and a good finish, though it can be somewhat tight and intense when young.
