Concerto is an organic and natural red wine from the terroirs north of the Loire (Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir). It bears the distinctive mark of Pineau d'Aunis, the grape variety from which it is made, as well as the inimitable touch of its creator, Jean-Pierre Robinot.
In the vineyard and in the winery
Through Concerto, master winemaker Jean-Pierre Robinot showcases Pineau d'Aunis grown on limestone soils. The harvest is carried out by hand and vinified in whole bunches with three weeks of maceration, which gives the wine body. Aged for a year in old barrels.
Tasting
All the typical characteristics of Pineau d'Aunis: spices, cranberry, pomegranate, and a touch of raspberry. Limestone and mineral notes, a touch of undergrowth, a touch of yeast and butter, a pure and light color. A touch of menthol and black pepper on the palate. Drink with a good roast beef or lamb, a delicately roasted pigeon, charcuterie, cured meats, and even uninhibited fish such as smoked mackerel or any other smoked seafood.

Bistrologie White 2022
Bistrologie is a dry white wine from Jean-Pierre Robinot, organic and natural, from his Sarthe terroirs (Jasnières and Coteaux-du-Loir). One hundred percent Chenin, as always, you don't change a winning grape variety. Its name will remind some that Jean-Pierre once ran a wine bistro in Paris.
Vinification
Bistrologie is made from forty-year-old Chenin vines growing on soils of red clay, limestone, and flint. The harvest is pressed directly into barrels, where the must ferments and rests on its lees for fifteen months until bottling. Without any chemical additives, filtration or addition of sulfites.
Tasting
Superb juice, intense, lively and saline, fresh and earthy minerality, acidic and salivating structure. Bistrologie is a full-bodied and powerful white wine, with a formidable minerality and seductive notes of roasted pears and apples. Honey and acidity coexist without contradicting each other, with a little herbaceousness in the taste structure. This wine is alive, constantly evolving, it can display slightly different profiles depending on its aging. It will be a pleasure to pair with oysters and seafood, smoked salmon, fine poultry and roasted white meats: it is made for gastronomy.

Juliette Blanc 2015,
Jean-Pierre Robinot
One hundred percent Chenin, Juliette (named after Juliette Robinot, the winemaker's daughter) is dry and beautifully fresh. It is a remarkable expression of the grape variety, produced from vines that are over a hundred years old. The harvest is late, marked by botrytis (noble rot). After direct pressing into barrels, the wine ferments and ages for over six years in the same container. A rare wine to cherish.

A delicately sparkling Chenin Blanc produced on the slopes of the Loir.

Regard Rouge 2022
Jean-Pierre Robinot
With "Regard" 2022, Jean-Pierre Robinot continues his demanding work as a winemaker-poet, delivering an energetic interpretation of Pineau d'Aunis, an emblematic Loire grape variety that is still too little known. This natural wine, without a label but adhering to a rigorous ethic (zero chemical inputs in the vineyard, natural vinification without exogenous yeasts or oenological inputs), is an ode to terroir and purity.
Made from vines planted on flint soils, the wine benefits from a unique terroir that gives it tension and brilliance. A short one-week maceration preserves the finesse of the grape variety, while revealing its most expressive characteristics: juicy red fruits, black pepper, herbs, and a smoky touch, like a light mist over an undergrowth. On the palate, "Regard" impresses with its delicate yet assertive structure, with a long year-long aging in multi-vintage barrels, bringing complexity and depth without ever dominating the fruit.
The palate is vibrant, intense, almost explosive. A beautiful tannic structure accompanies a fresh and persistent finish. The wine lends itself to assertive gastronomy: grilled or stewed red meats, dishes with mild spices, or even roasted vegetables with wild herbs. It is recommended to serve it around 14 to 16°C, with possible decanting to aerate it.
Jean-Pierre Robinot delivers a living, author's wine here, which will age elegantly for a decade or more. A frank and unvarnished look at what Pineau d'Aunis can be when treated with respect and intuition.
Charme White 2022,
Jean-Pierre Robinot - L’Opéra des Vins
Charme, aptly named, is an organic and natural dry white wine from the Loire Valley (Jasnières and Coteaux-du-Loir), classified as a Vin de France. It is the result of the talent of Jean-Pierre Robinot and his Chenin vines.
In the Vineyard and in the Winery
Charme by Jean-Pierre Robinot is made from 100% twenty-five-year-old Chenin vines, grown organically on mineral-rich soils: siliceous, clayey (red clay), and limestone. The harvest is directly pressed and ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts for a year in oak barrels. Aging lasts twelve months, also in oak barrels, followed by three months in vats before bottling without filtration.
Tasting
Charme 2022 offers pure fruitiness and beautiful maturity with remarkable acidity; let's call it "a little taste of comeback." This exquisite organic Loire Chenin offers beautiful notes of citrus and spices: white fruits, honey, lemon peel and dried fruits on the back of the palate. Elegant, mineral, deep, fine and full of vivacity, a little exotic on the edges, it will express itself best after an hour of decanting. Pair it with charming foods: oysters and shellfish, White Meats, refined seafood, for example incorporated into a risotto.

Camille Rouge 2022
Jean-Pierre Robinot
With Camille 2022, Jean-Pierre Robinot crafts one of his most profound and elegant cuvées. This natural red wine, made from Pineau d'Aunis grown on flint soils, perfectly embodies the winemaker's touch: a free, inspired, unadorned approach that allows the terroir and grape variety to express themselves without filter. Here, there is no official label, but a rigorous approach: soil work without chemicals, winemaking without exogenous yeasts or enological additives, and a long, patient aging process.
Maceration, which can last from 1 to 8 months depending on the expression of each vintage and each plot, gives this cuvée remarkable aromatic intensity and an extraordinary texture. The 2-year aging in old barrels enhances the whole, bringing patina and depth without ever masking the fruit.
The captivating nose combines ripe red and black fruits, sweet spices, peppery notes, herbaceous touches, and a hint of fine caramel that evokes the slow evolution in the barrel. On the palate, the wine surprises with its tactile lightness, almost airy, despite its concentration. The tannins are melted, the structure is straight, and the finish lingers, with a mineral vibration marked by flint.
Camille is a gastronomic wine par excellence, to be paired with grilled red meats, spiced dishes, or even roasted game. It can be enjoyed today after decanting, but will gain even more complexity over 10 years and beyond. Served at around 14 to 16°C, it will reveal all the poetry of a great Pineau d'Aunis aged with patience and precision.
Where?
Chahaignes is a village in the southern Sarthe region, in the Loir Valley, on the borders of Anjou and Touraine. Jean-Pierre was born and raised there, and left at the age of seventeen. At twenty-two, he discovered wine and never left it again. This began with L'Ange Vin, a wine bar on Rue Richard-Lenoir in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, which he ran for nearly fifteen years. But his real dream was to acquire a vineyard and make sulfur-free wines. So he returned to Chahaignes, reclaiming uncultivated hillside land on prime terroirs, as well as troglodyte cellars dug into the tufa rock. 2002 would be his first vintage. At the same time, through his wine trading business, under the L’Opéra du vin brand, he vinifies grapes purchased from local winegrowers.
Jean-Pierre Robinot is recognizable by his smiling, bouncy figure. It's clear that while it has not yet been proven that all wines resemble their winemaker (a study still to be undertaken), the wines produced by Jean-Pierre, warm, friendly, and luminous, are a reflection of their creator.
Terroir and Soils
"We are," explains Jean-Pierre, "on the edge of a very large forest planted by Colbert, which often stops storms. Our vines are on steep hillsides overlooking our river, the Loir. They are planted on complex soils: yellow clay, flint, and limestone." These soils were once covered by the sea, and many fossils are found there. This gives the wines a decidedly saline note. The soil is cultivated and drains rainwater well, but the vines don't suffer too much from drought. At night, the temperature drops very quickly, allowing for very cold grapes to be harvested in the morning. All these elements, Jean-Pierre explains, make for elegant wines.
Plots and Grape Varieties
About ten hectares in Coteaux du Loir, six and a half hectares in Coteaux du Loir-Jasnières. Almost the entire vineyard faces south-southeast, with the classic grape varieties of the region: Chenin for the Jasnières and the white Coteaux-du-Loir, Pineau d'Aunis for the reds. "Chenin," says Jean-Pierre, "is the great grape variety of the Loire. It suits us perfectly, because we can make everything with it using ancestral methods: from great dry wines, semi-dry wines, to sweet wines." » Pineau d'Aunis or Chenin Noir is a very old, vigorous and fertile Loire grape variety. Until recently, it was believed to have been selected ten centuries ago by the monks of the Aunis Priory in Anjou. It was recently discovered that it originated in Charente and has been planted in the region for nearly two thousand years.
Growing Methods
Jean-Pierre Robinot practices strict organic viticulture at the Domaine de l'Ange Vin, without chemical weed control. The soil is worked and amended with natural compost. All harvests, carried out at maturity on healthy grapes, are done by hand. The location and climate favor noble rot.
Vinification
All wines are free of added sulfites, without any additives, and unfiltered. The Pineau d'Aunis (red) wines are never destemmed and ferment for a long time, sometimes a month, with regular punching down. They complete their fermentation in barrels on lees for at least a year. The whites are never macerated but pressed directly and slowly, and aged for at least twelve months in oak barrels. Jean-Pierre practices controlled oxidation extensively. The sparkling natural wines are aged for two to three years on slats and disgorged on the fly. The wines rest in cellars dug into the tuffeau stone fifty meters underground: the temperature in winter is 10°C and, in summer, never exceeds 13°C, even when it is 40°C outside.
The Wines
"This is my grandfather's wine!" people often say to Jean-Pierre when tasting his wines for the first time. The long malolactic fermentation in barrels on lees helps explain the distinctive taste of its Chenin whites, worked and complex: a lovely fullness on the palate, fat, texture and often notes of candied white fruits (pear, quince, apple), honey, citrus and white flowers. Gentle oxidation is not uncommon and residual sugars are always relevant. Among the 100% Chenin white cuvées: Le Charme du Loir, Charme, L’Iris, Bistrologie. Sparkling wines: Fêtembulles, Les Années folles, l’As des Années folles. Reds: Regard, Lumières des Sens, Nocturne. Camille Robinot is a great cuvée of old Pineau d’Aunis vines. These wines, powerful and structured under their apparent carefreeness, can be kept long enough to silence those who claim that “nature” cannot be kept. These are multifaceted wines: no two vintages are alike, yet the unity of style throughout is undeniable.
Jean-Pierre is also a photographer and uses slow exposure to create all the labels for his bottles.
