🏰 About the Domaine

Domaine L’Anglore, led by Éric Pfifferling in Tavel, has become an icon of natural wines in France. A former beekeeper, Éric cultivates his vines without any chemical inputs, vinifies without sulfur or filtration, delivering wines of pure emotion. The Lirac cuvée, more confidential than his Tavel or Chemin de la Brune, reveals a new depth in his work: a characterful red, free and intensely alive.
