We don’t know what’s in the water around the village of Chahaignes, but it sure makes for some sublime Pineau d’Aunis. From some of Monsieur Robinot’s oldest vines, this wine always wows us with it's compact structure and haunting aromas of black fruits, flint and spice. Incredible now, it will keep on coming on for years to come.
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.
