Domaine Leduc Frouin Nathalie and Antoine LEDUC now run the family estate founded in 1873. Before them, four generations of winegrowers - parents, uncle, grandparents - built and developed the Seigneurie vineyard. Combining tradition and modernity , they do everything they can to offer you typical Anjou wines, subtle and surprising. Passionate, they work rigorously on their vineyard of around thirty hectares located in Martigné-Briand, in the heart of Haut-Layon. The diversity of their terroirs - falun, schist, clay - allows them to produce plot-by-plot vinifications that reveal the character of the Seigneurie wines each year.
