We're talking to you about his Winery
Jean-Pierre Robinot's choice is clear and his confidence in his wines very strong. The land, located between Tours and Le Mans, is ploughed and the vines are treated with organic products and plant infusions. The vinification is done with natural yeasts, mostly without sulphur or very little. The wine is then put into barrels in the tuffeau galleries for as long as it takes. This is Jean-Pierre's great strength, his ability to be in symbiosis with his wine. A symbiosis that has now conquered the gullets and heads of natural wine adventurers. You can't be serious when you're 17. Or so it seems. In search of a driving force in life, of a passion, Jean-Pierre Robinot decided at that age to leave his village of Chahaignes, in the Sarthe, to go to Paris. He worked at odd jobs, got by, and then his encounter with wine at the age of 22 was a revelation! His life could no longer be conceived without making a place for himself in this world. Jean-Pierre Robinot develops his knowledge of wine through contact with the people who make it, the winegrowers and those who talk about it and make it known, the wine enthusiasts and journalists. |
This is how he crossed paths with Michel Bettane... and founded "Le Rouge et le Blanc" with the latter in 1983. He then created a restaurant-wine bar, which allowed him to undertake the long march of wine, to taste and define even better the wines he loves. For this adventure, he chose the 11th arrondissement at a time when this eastern Paris had profoundly retained its popular typicity, rue Richard Lenoir. Its name: "L'Ange Vin". Then comes a new stage in his journey. The will to own his own land to plant his vine and to make his wine in his own way, that is to say without suffering, letting the juice of the vine play its part. He then returns to the village of Chahaignes and spends 2 to 3 years unearthing fallow land on hillsides that suit him. Some of them had even been in a natural state for over 100 years... His first vintage dates back to 2002. The first year, he took over everything at the base and now has about ten hectares in the Coteaux du Loir appellation area. He also farms 6.5 hectares in Coteaux du Loir Jasnières. The name of his Winery ? les Vignes de l'Ange Vin of course. |
