Patrick Corbineau

GRANDFATHER
Patrick Corbineau's childhood was deeply intertwined with his grandfather's vineyard, a place that held a special significance in his heart. It was here that he first developed his love for winemaking, playing among the vines and learning the art of cultivation. Despite this early connection, he pursued a career as a welder at the nuclear power plant. For eighteen years, Patrick had not spoken a word to his grandfather, because he had favored his uncle in the distribution of the vines. But one day, his grandfather, who had been the custodian of the vineyard, stood before him because everything would be destroyed, and then Patrick had to start again. He quit his job at the nuclear power station, but it is still rumoured that he was the best welder in the country. His grandfather, the one who had instilled in him the love for winemaking, died on the day Patrick was supposed to take over the work in the vineyard.

RELIGION
Patrick's strong emotional connection with the vineyard and the wine allows him to give the vineyard much freedom to grow. Through his trust in the health of the soil, the optimal conditions in the cellar, and his own skills, his approach to winemaking could perhaps be described as a religion. He never exaggerates but does everything in harmony with nature. His way of working is a true reflection of his personality: gentle, sentimental, and passionate. His 'religion' of winemaking is a belief in the natural process, a reverence for the soil and the vines, and a commitment to producing wines that are a true reflection of their terroir. He works without pesticides or herbicides, and the amount of copper and sulphur in his diet is so ridiculously low that bureaucracy finds it suspicious. Fortunately, Patrick has never asked for certification because administrative processes are not part of his mental world. This 'religion' is not just a set of practices, but a deep-seated belief in the beauty and purity of winemaking, a commitment to preserving the integrity of the land and the vines, and a dedication to producing wines that are a true expression of their origin.
