Antoine Leduc at Domaine Leduc-Frouin at SousigneAnjou, Anjou-Villages, Coteaux du LayonWe met with Madame Leduc early in our wine travels - and more by happenchance than design. Having been thoroughly disgruntled by a Loire negociant who was only interested in selling cheap sweet rose to the English, we found we had time on our hands and an almost forgotten introduction to this vineyard from a French-Canadian mutual acquaintance. A warm welcome and good interesting wines greeted us, and we have been fans ever since. Nowadays Madame Leduc's son and daughter (Antoine and Nathalie) have come back home to help Chantal run the vineyard, which has a very good local reputation - Antoine in the vines and cellar, Nathalie in the business and marketing side. With Madame Leduc's extensive knowledge of her vines, Antoine's passion and Nathalie's organisational skills the domaine goes from strength to strength. South of the Angers and the Loire river, near Martigne-Briand in the heart of the Anjou and Coteaux du Layon appellations, the domaine is situated at Sousigné. The domaine produces Anjou red, Anjou-Villages red, Anjou Blanc Sec (dry white), a Chardonnay, Cabernet d'Anjou, Rosé d'Anjou, Rosé de Loire, Coteaux du Layon (dessert wine) and sparking Saumur. Visitors are always welcome - but do phone ahead in case they are busy in the cellar or vines.
