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.
