Frédéric Sigonneau has been making wine in Touraine’s Loire Valley since 2007 upon reviving his family’s 8 hectare estate in Cravant les Coteaux.  He manages his vineyards in the most natural way possible and minimally intervenes throughout the winemaking process.  He crafts certified organic wines.  He started off working with Cabernet Franc from old vines (about 60 years old) growing on gravel on the right bank of the Vienne river in the heart of the Chinon appellation.  In 2015 he planted 10 hectares of Chenin Blanc on the hillsides.
