Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast
This is a rare red wine in this Loir Valley appellation, wood aged and rich. A blend of Pineau d'Aunis with Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, it is densely textured and full of spice as well as blackberry fruit. Full in the mouth, replete with fruit, it is ready to drink.

— Cave Cooperative du Vendômois 2014 Cuvée Prestige Red (Coteaux du Vendômois) (89/100)
The vineyards of Vendômois lie in the Loir valley and north of the Loire proper. That gives them an extra tang of coolness as well as intensity. This crisp, baked-apple and spice-flavored wine is delicious, fruity while also well structured. Drink this perfumed wine now.
— Domaine Patrice Colin 2014 Vieilles Vignes Chenin Blanc (Coteaux du Vendômois) (89/100)
Pineau d'Aunis vines planted in 1920 by the grandfather of the estate's current owner have produced a smooth, ripe and spicy wine. It has some red fruits and acidity, but the edge of tannins in the texture gives the wine its real character. Drink now.
— Domaine Patrice Colin 2015 Gris Bodin Rosé (Coteaux du Vendômois) (88/100)
This is a crisply structured wine, with attractive yellow fruits, a touch of honey and pineapple acidity. It's delicious, perfumed and fresh, and ready to drink now.
