DOMAINE DE SAINT-MAUR Ideally located in Anjou, the Domaine Saint-Maur is located on the hills that dominate the left bank of the Loire, the Thoureil, Maine and Loire. The vineyards of Saint Maur became the property of the CHOUTEAU family in 1962. Winegrowers and winemakers for several generations, we bring our passion and our know-how to the breeding of our vines. The main grape varieties that make up the 36 ha predominantly clay-limestone are theCabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon-Chenin, Sauvignon Blanc and Grolleau .

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.
