Domaine F.

Lantignié
User profile description

Located on the exceptional terroirs of the town of Lantignié, rich in pink granite and blue stones characteristic of the grands crus of Beaujolais, Frédéric and his team are also keen to restore the unjustly tarnished coat of arms of little French Tuscany. Marked by the disamour for Beaujolais wines when he was a child, Frédéric wishes to redress this injustice. Motivated by this challenge, it must be worthy of its terroirs and ambitions, by producing the best possible wines. To be a winegrower is to be a farmer. There is a lot of talk about wine, but very little about the fruit that is its origin. If winemaking makes it possible to sign the wine with the know-how of its winemaker and those around it, no signature, however beautiful it may be, has any value if the primary material is not of quality. Aware very early on of the interaction between soil quality, grape quality and therefore wine quality, Frédéric never stopped training in agricultural practices focusing on the essential: the land. Rich in all these efforts and Frédéric's sensitivity to his environment, the field exudes energy. Breaking with intensive and chemical agriculture, the team treats its vines according to the precepts of agroecology: considering that its field is one with nature, it strives to respect the ecological diversity at work in the Beaujolais region, essential conditions to preserve natural resources and thus get the best out of them.
