Domain Saint-Nicolas
Since autumn 1995, Domain Saint-Nicolas has been cultivating 32 hectares of biodynamic vines in the Loire Valley, without the use of weedkillers, fertilizers or synthetic chemicals. Domain Saint-Nicolas produces a range of wines in the Fiefs Vendéens appellation.

In 1960, Patrice Michon settled in Brem-sur-Mer, and gradually bought vines to increase his vineyard holdings. In 1970, he moved to Ile-d'Olonne, where he built a modern winery. Joined in 1984 by his two sons, Thierry and Eric, he overturned the habits of the Vendée region to give the wines of Domain Saint-Nicolas their own distinctive stamp and label.
