Domaine de L’R Domaine de L’R, Frédéric Sigonneau, Chinon, Loire He made the first vintages of Atauta in Ribera del Duero before returning to Cravant-lès-Coteaux to take up the reins at his father’s domaine and turn it into a haven for biodynamic wine enthusiasts from all over. His love of art shows on the labels, as does his sense of humour, but the real talent is in the bottle for sure. Cabernet Franc 100% Colour: clear purple, medium intensity and tears Nose: slightly funky nose, medium intensity, clean with red fruit and slight earthiness Mouth: medium acid and smooth medium tannin, savoury with slight red fruit. Medium minus body. Meaty finish.  cool producer and very cool wine to have at least one in your life.
