Patrice Colin
Loire, France
Domaine Patrice Colin is a historic, family-run estate in the Coteaux du Vendômois of the Loire Valley, where eight generations have cultivated vines since 1735. Today, Patrice, along with his son and son-in-law, farms 25 hectares of organic and biodynamic vineyards rooted in flinty clay-limestone soils, with a special focus on old-vine Pineau d’Aunis and Chenin Blanc. The domaine embraces biodiversity and minimal intervention, using wild yeasts and careful parcel selection to craft wines that are pure, vibrant, and deeply expressive of their terroir. From peppery, ethereal reds and dry rosés to textured Chenin Blancs and lively pét-nats, Domaine Patrice Colin produces wines of precision, energy, and authenticity that reflect both the legacy and future of this lesser-known Loire appellation.
