Jean-Pierre Robinot


A superb, intense, lively, and saline wine, with a fresh, earthy minerality and a superb, mouth-watering acidity, Bistrologie will remind those familiar with Jean-Pierre Robinot's story that he ran a wine bistro in Paris, L'Ange Vin, until the early 2000s, when he returned to the winegrowing lands of his native Sarthe, in the Jasnières and Coteaux-du-Loir appellations, to make his wines without additives, without chemicals, using only grapes. Here we have a remarkable wine, 100% Chenin as usual, ample and powerful, with formidable minerality and seductive notes of roasted pears and apples. Honey and acidity coexist without contradicting each other, a hint of herbaceousness is evident in the structure. This wine is alive, constantly evolving, and can display slightly different profiles depending on its aging. It comes from forty-year-old vines, growing on red clay, limestone, and flint soils. The harvest is pressed directly into barrels, where the must ferments and rests on its lees for fifteen months until bottling.

Anyone interested in natural wine in France has inevitably crossed paths with Jean-Pierre Robinot at some point and has never forgotten this smiling, bouncy figure. It is clear that while it has not yet been proven that all wines resemble their winemaker (a study to be undertaken), the vintages produced by Jean-Pierre, warm, friendly, and luminous, are in the image of their creator. After running the L’Ange Vin wine bar on rue
in the 11th arrondissement of Paris for nearly fifteen years, Jean-Pierre returned to his native Chahaignes, a small village in the south of Sarthe, on the borders of Anjou and Touraine. His dream is to acquire his own vineyard and make sulfur-free wines. He reclaims hillside wasteland on great terroirs, as well as troglodyte cellars dug into the tuffeau stone. 2002 will be his first vintage. At the same time, under the L’Opéra du vin brand, he vinifies grapes purchased from local winegrowers. Jean-Pierre Robinot practices demanding organic viticulture, without chemical weed control. The soil is worked and amended with natural composts. All harvests, carried out at maturity on healthy grapes, are done by hand. The location and climate favor noble rot.
