Description
What kind of wine is it
Patrice Colin Petillant Perles Grises Brut is a sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method that expresses the purity of the Pineau d’Aunis grape variety. Produced as a Vin de France, this biodynamic wine displays a very pale copper hue, almost transparent. Its aromatic profile is distinguished by the elegance of white flowers intertwined with characteristic mineral notes of graphite. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant and fragrant brut style, enriched with hints of geranium and spices. Perfect for accompanying starters, it offers a fresh and balanced drink.
Where does it come from
The grapes are grown in Thoré-la-Rochette, in the heart of the Loire Valley. Patrice Colin’s work is based on a rigorous biodynamic approach aimed at enhancing the terroir. The vines sink their roots into steep hillside soils composed of clay and flint, a formation that imparts a distinct gustatory tension to the wine. The presence of historic old vines, some dating back to the late nineteenth century, gives the harvest aromatic concentration and marked structural complexity.
How is it produced
Vinification follows natural principles, beginning with a natural fermentation that respects the identity of the harvest. The subsequent prise de mousse is carried out strictly using the Traditional Method, ensuring a fine and persistent perlage. The absence of high dosage defines a brut style focused on precision and fruit freshness. With excellent structure, this sparkling wine has cellaring potential of between five and ten years and is best enjoyed served at a temperature of 6-8 °C.
