Domaine de l’R Chinon Canal des Grands Pièces
£20.00
The Wine
A powerful nose with perfumed aromas of juicy raspberry and cherry fruit, and complex notes of wild herbs. Silky texture with smooth tannins and vibrant, refreshing acidity.
The Vineyard
Following years of winemaking in Spain’s Ribera del Duero, Frederic Sigonneau founded Domaine de l’R in 2004. His Chinon Cabernet Francs are atypically powerful for the region: partly due to the extra concentration from the 60-year-old vines, but also due to the big and bold Spanish influence.
The vines are tended to biodynamically, and in the cellar Frederic has a very stripped back winemaking approach. His methods are not a matter of being ‘fashionably natural’, everything works towards preserving the natural state and purity of the fruit because to Frederic it simply tastes better.
Pairing Suggestions
The medium-high tannin levels work well with red meats such as beef or lamb. It also pairs well with a blue cheese.
