Jean-Pierre Robinot is not only a legend of the natural wine world, but he is also a master of the petillant naturel style. This is Chenin Blanc from young vines that spent nine months sur lattes before disgorgement. Dry, clean and saline, it is one hell of a way to begin a meal.
There’s nothing we can say about Jean-Pierre Robinot that hasn’t been said before. He’s a guy who has been at the forefront of the scene for decades, opening a seminal bistrot in Paris, starting a journal on natural wines and finally moving back to the village where he grew up in the very north of the Loire Valley to produce kaleidoscopic takes on Chenin Blanc and Pineau d’Aunis that are amongst our favourite wines on earth.
