Domaine de L'R - Chinon La Familia 2022
Loire | red, dry |
A complex red wine with dark fruit tones and subtle spicy nuances, impressing with its depth and structure.
La Familia 2022 is a wine that hides true strength and complexity within. Made from Cabernet Franc grapes grown on east-facing vineyards with limestone soils, it offers rich notes of dark fruits like blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by a subtle spicy undertone. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, with firm structure and a long finish that will stay with you long after the last sip.
Domaine de l’R sits on the right bank of the Vienne River, in the heart of the Chinon appellation. After learning winemaking in Spain, Frédéric Sigonneau returned to Touraine in 2004 and founded his domaine in 2007 on the site of his family’s old farm in Cravant-les-Coteaux. From the start, Frédéric has farmed organically, with no herbicides or pesticides. Vinification happens by gravity, with spontaneous fermentation using only native yeasts, and minimal pumping. The result is vibrant, authentic wines with a strong sense of place.
