Chenin Blanc from a parcel of old vines planted over schist farmed by a friend in Jasnières.the result is a golden wine that speaks of the warmth of the vintage, with vibrant notes of stone fruits, minerals, and spice. Full of raw energy, this should evolve beautifully in the cellar for years to come.

Jean-Pierre Robinot is a legend and so is his wife Noella who provides a steady hand behind the scenes! They have now been joined by their daughter Juliette (who has a cuvee named after her) who is also involved in the work in the vines and in the winemaking.
Their wines are served in the best wine bars in Paris, Copenhagen and New York. When we dropped into the famous l’Entree des Artistes in Paris and asked for the most interesting wine in their cellar, it is a Robinot that is reverentially brought to the table.
He’s in his 70s with the energy and enthusiasm of a teenager. He had one of the first natural wine bars in Paris, called l’Ange Vin, and, while living in Paris also was one of the founders of Rouge et Blanc, still one of France’s most influential wine magazines. But he eventually sold the bar and in 2000 bought a vineyard, just out of the village of Chahaignes, where he now lives. It’s also where he grew up.
