White Iris 2022

Iris Blanc 2022

Jean-Pierre Robinot

The evidence of time and life

A unique winemaker, Jean-Pierre Robinot crafts his wines as one writes a poem: with attention, patience, and intuition. He produces deep, vibrant Chenin wines, always without additives or added sulfur. His slow approach to winemaking, combined with an understanding of the wine's natural rhythm, gives birth to powerful and nuanced cuvées.

Iris, between density and brilliance

This 2022 vintage comes from vines grown on clay-limestone soils, in a climate conducive to maturity. The grapes, pressed directly, are then aged for one year in multi-use barrels, allowing for slow and subtle oxygenation, without marked woody notes. The result is a balanced wine, concentrated yet precise.

A complex and luminous Chenin

On the nose, one is struck by its intensity: white flowers, dry honey, exotic fruits like pineapple or mango, all supported by a mineral touch. On the palate, the wine impresses with its richness, its ample, almost velvety texture, and its salivating finish with notes of warm stone. Iris combines maturity, energy, and elegance.

Pairings & serving: gastronomic nobility

Perfect with roasted fish, aged soft cheeses, or white meats in sauce. Serve between 10 and 12°C, without decanting. This great natural wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for over 10 years, to evolve towards more tertiary and saline complexity.
