Chahaignes, Loire
Jean Pierre Robinot is genius and recklessness, he is an artist and is considered a guru not only in the Loire, but throughout France.
Alternative and anarchic, talented and uncategorisable, that’s how he is. A Master.
He took his first steps in the world of wine at a very young age, in the early 1970s, opening L’Ange Vin in Paris, one of the first wine bars dedicated solely to the natural world. A few years later he founded Rouge et Blanc, a popular fine magazine, which was in vogue until the end of the 1990s.
In 2000 he decided to sell his wine shop and return home to Chahaignes to produce his own wines. He buys a small plot just outside the town, today it has become 10 hectares of vineyards. They are located near the Sarthe River, a major tributary of the Loire.
The soil is calcareous clay, rich in silica.
Robinot, with the help of his wife Noella, started from a series of plots populated by old vines, also introducing new rows of Chenin Blanc and Pineau d’Aunis.
The company approach is biodynamic in the vineyard and natural in the cellar, with spontaneous fermentations that last almost a year and the use of old barrels for refinement.
Robinot wines are neither filtered nor clarified and do not include the addition of sulfur dioxide, as evidenced by the acronym on the label, S.A.I.N.S (sans aucun intrant ni sulfite).
The wines of this magnificent cellar are of great finesse, fascinating and subtle, enchanting and artistic.
