Lumière de Silex Blanc 2023
Jean-Pierre Robinot
A free spirit of the Loire
Based in Loir-et-Cher, Jean-Pierre Robinot is a living legend of natural wine. A poet, winemaker, and passionate advocate for living things, for two decades he has been crafting vibrant and pure wines, with no additives, no added yeasts, and often no sulfur. His artisanal and sensitive approach to Chenin makes him one of the most respected producers in the region.
Lumière de Silex, a Chenin on schist
This cuvée comes from plots planted on schist soils in the Anjou appellation, an ideal terroir for Chenin blanc. Direct pressing allows for a clear expression of the fruit, without extractions or masking. The wine is then aged for one year in barrels that have already contained several wines, to oxygenate without overpowering.
Fullness, tension, iodized length
Lumière de Silex unfolds gracefully: the nose opens with white flowers, peach, and a hint of exotic fruit. On the palate, the attack is ample, round, with a generous texture, balanced by a mineral tension that stretches the finish. This finish, iodized and persistent, evokes rock and salt, and calls for a second glass.
At the table: finesse and depth
Perfect with soft cheeses, grilled or sauced fish, or white meats. Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C. This natural wine can be enjoyed young, for its freshness and fruit, or kept for over ten years to reveal its tertiary complexity and verticality.
