He took over the family estate in Bezouce, near Avignon, in 1998 after a decade managing production at the local cooperative, and spent nearly a decade farming conventionally before a personal reckoning changed everything. \"I realized I needed to stop poisoning myself with the chemical treatments we were using,\" he has said. In 2007, he converted the entire domain to organic agriculture. Today, Domaine de la Patience is one of the southern Rhône's most reliable addresses for approachable, honestly made wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate was established in 1930 and takes its name from a wild, aromatic Mediterranean herb , known locally as \"La Patience\" , that grows throughout the vineyard. Christophe inherited both the land and a commitment to the place when he succeeded his father. Since converting to organics, he has expanded from the original 15 hectares to 100 certified organic hectares, also purchasing grapes from neighboring sustainable and organic growers to supplement his own production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/la-patience\"\u003eLa Patience producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-patience-rouge-natural-wine","title":"Domaine de La Patience Rouge 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine de la Patience Rouge is a light-bodied red blend from winemaker Christophe Aguilar, whose family estate sits near Avignon in southern France, close to the historic Pont du Gard.
