COTEAUX DU LAYON “Grand Clos” DOMAINE LEDUC FROUIN

A very great wine in the pure tradition of the Layons, to be kept for 6 to 10 years.
The delicate and fine nose opens with notes of apricot and quince.
The aromas are found on the palate, well balanced between richness and freshness, with a long and syrupy finish, but without heaviness.

TASTING

Our Coteaux du Layon “Grand Clos” is made from hand-picked bunches of golden Chenin grapes that have been raisined. With its fruity and floral aromas… pineapple, acacia, apricot… our wine has a perfect balance between minerality and sweetness. Its fresh, elegant palate means you can enjoy it as an aperitif, with a meal or as a dessert.

TERROIR

– “Le Gand Clos”, Village of Sousigné
Soil and subsoil: talcose schist and gravel on phtanites
– Grape variety: 100% Chenin

COLLECTION

The manual harvest was carried out in September 2018 with our team of around twenty people.

Winemaking

Transported in small bins, the bunches arrive intact at the cellar to be poured into a pneumatic press. A long (around 10 hours) and delicate pressing process begins. This is followed by static settling, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats and ageing in oak barrels for a year. It was then bottled

Some suggestions…

Fresh or pan-fried foie gras, roast chicken, blue cheese platters… Roquefort, Fourme d’Ambert, Bleu des Causses, Apricot tarts, pears, apple, peach ice cream … and simply for a moment of pleasure.
