The 2022 Frédéric Mabileau Rémy Mabileau Sans les Mains Pineau d’Aunis is a vibrant and characterful Loire Valley red that highlights the unique personality of this historic regional variety. Made with a minimal-intervention approach, the wine offers lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, alongside distinctive notes of white pepper, dried herbs and delicate floral nuances.
On the palate, it is light-bodied, fresh and energetic, with bright acidity supporting crunchy red fruit flavours and Pineau d’Aunis’ signature spicy character. Silky tannins and a lively texture lead to a clean, savoury finish, making it an engaging and highly drinkable wine with plenty of individuality.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for adventurous wine lovers looking to explore something a little different from the Loire Valley. Fresh, spicy and easy-drinking, it is best enjoyed slightly chilled and over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with charcuterie, roast pork, grilled sausages, mushroom dishes or light Mediterranean cuisine.
