Domaine de L'R Les Cinq Elements 2023

Domaine de L’R “Les Cinq Éléments” 2023 is the soul of Chinon captured in a bottle — a seamless dialogue between earth, air, fire, water, and time. Crafted by Frédéric Sigonneau from organically farmed Cabernet Franc, this cuvée is deeper and more structured than his lighter wines, yet still defined by purity and restraint. The 2023 vintage reveals tension, freshness, and aromatic precision — a Loire red that combines quiet power with natural grace.

“Les Cinq Éléments” 2023 calls for dishes that highlight its earthy depth and refined structure. Serve it with roasted duck breast, lamb chops with thyme and garlic, or pork tenderloin with lentils and herbs. Its freshness makes it ideal for pairing with mushroom risotto, eggplant parmigiana, or slow-cooked ratatouille. Try it slightly chilled alongside charcuterie, aged goat cheese, or a mushroom tart for a more casual experience. The wine’s balance of fruit and minerality also makes it perfect with autumnal dishes — roasted root vegetables, truffle pasta, or wild game pâté. Decant for 30–45 minutes before serving to reveal its full aromatic intensity.
