{"title":"Jean-Pierre Robinot","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew figures loom as large in natural wine as Jean-Pierre Robinot, the former Paris wine-bar owner who returned to his Loire birthplace to make uncompromising, sulfur-free wines under the L'Ange Vin name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobinot discovered wine at 22 after tasting a 1964 Cheval Blanc and fell under the influence of Jules Chauvet and Marcel Lapierre in the late 1980s. He opened L'Ange Vin, one of Paris' first wine bars devoted entirely to natural wine, and co-founded the magazine Le Rouge et le Blanc. After more than a decade in Paris, he and his wife Noella moved to his home village of Chahaignes in the early 2000s to start making wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/jean-pierre-robinot\"\u003eJean-Pierre Robinot producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"les-annees-folles-pet-nat-chenin-blanc-robinot-natural-wine","title":"Jean-Pierre Robinot L'Opéra des Vins Les Années Folles 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eLes Années Folles is a pétillant naturel made by méthode ancestrale from grapes sourced in the Jasnières area of the Loir Valley. The blend is 60% Chenin Blanc and 40% Pineau d'Aunis. Although the fruit comes from vineyards within the Jasnières appellation boundaries, Robinot does not submit the wine for appellation approval — it is labeled Vin de France.

Under this line, he sources grapes from trusted growers in the Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir area who farm organically. The winemaking approach is the same as for his estate wines: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aging on lees in old oak barrels in tuffeau cave cellars, and bottling without fining, filtration, or added sulfites.
