WINE DESCRIPTION
Patrice Colin Vieilles Vignes Rouge is a captivating expression of the Loire Valley's rich terroir. Crafted by the esteemed winemaker Patrice Colin, this wine hails from vineyards boasting vines aged between 50 and 90 years. These ancient vines, rooted in clay and flint soils, yield grapes of exceptional quality. The winemaking process is meticulous, involving a 45-day maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a year of aging in oak barrels. The blend of Pineau d'Aunis, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc grapes results in a wine that is both elegant and powerful, offering a complex interplay of red fruit flavors, spice notes, and a mineral undertone.
