Patrice Colin, Coteaux-du-Vendômois, Thoré-la-Rochette
This wine comes from the heart of the Coteaux du Vendômois AOC, one of the most authentic and least standardised areas of the Loire. It is a distinctive red wine, made from 100% Pineau d'Aunis, a historic grape variety that finds its purest expression here. The vines are rooted in calcareous soils that give tension and aromatic precision. In the vineyard, the work is rigorous and respectful of natural balances. In the cellar, the approach is essential, with minimal intervention to preserve character and freshness. In the glass, it opens with small red fruits, black pepper and a distinctive spicy note. On the palate, it is dynamic, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. It is a light red in structure but intense in personality. It does not focus on power, but on energy and drinkability. A contemporary, unconventional wine, designed for those who love to discover the most authentic and surprising Loire.
In the heart of the Coteaux du Vendômois AOC, in the most authentic part of the Loire, lies Domaine Patrice Colin, a family business deeply attached to its territory. The history of the winery is one of a consistently handed-down agricultural tradition, where each generation has chosen to value identity and precision. Patrice Colin has built his project on a clear principle: wine must be a direct expression of the soil and the vintage. The vineyards, cultivated with care and respect for the natural balance, reflect the richness of the area's limestone soils. The production philosophy favours minimal intervention and essential choices, leaving room for the purity of the grape variety. The winery works with rigour, avoiding technical excesses and stylistic superstructures. Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc thus find an authentic, fresh and territorial expression. The wines are dynamic, mineral and consistent, capable of conveying the character of the Vendômois without filters. Domaine Patrice Colin is now a reference point for those seeking a lesser-known but highly distinctive Loire, where tradition and contemporary vision coexist in balance.
