The current winemakers are Christine and Bernard, who have been cultivating the Domaine de Colonat since 1977. After specialised studies in the field and time spent working abroad, their son Thomas has joined the family estate. The know-how as artisan winemakers has been passed on from generation to generation. Respectful of their land, they seek to practice sound and clean winegrowing without fuss, but rather based on a philosophy of sincerity in order to protect the outstanding terroirs and pass them on to future generations. They strive to produce deep-rooted and living wines full of character and emotion.
