H. Mercer Imports
The Wine:
Hand harvested 30+ year old vines from the Martigné vineyard, consisting of clay, schist, and gravel soils. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and oak barrels, aged in barrel for 6-12 months.
This wine expresses the complexity of Chenin Blanc. Nose of soft stonefruit, apricot, quince and lemon tree blossoms with a hint of cinnamon. Ample but dry mouthfeel with fresh fruit and mineral notes with a crisp acidity on the finish.
The Winery:
Domaine LEDUC-FROUIN was founded in 1873 and is now managed by Antoine Leduc, 4th generation Winemaker. Antoine was always destined to work in his 30 hectares family estate and he returned there in 1993 after doing his Oenology studies in Bourgogne and Bordeaux. Combining tradition and modernity, Antoine makes every effort to produce typical, local and subtile wines. The diversity of the soils (falun, shale, clay) allows him to perform single vineyard winemaking.
