Jean-Pierre Robinot
After opening one of Paris’s first natural wine bars and founding the internationally-renowned “Le Rouge et Blanc” magazine, Jean-Pierre Robinot realized the best way to understand natural wine was to make it himself. Today, he and his family farm seven hectares of Pineau d’Aunis, Chenin Blanc, and Gamay in the Loire, very slowly vinifying them naturally for years in the limestone caves in the hills—you just can’t rush the incredible poise and vitality distinct in his cult classic wines, after all.

Behind the Bottle
Pineau d’Aunis, Chenin Blanc, and Gamay are the crown jewels of Jean-Pierre Robinot’s organic plots in the northern Loire, and every bottle is vinified in ancient limestone caves carved into the hills around his winery, with absolutely no rush: each bottle can be fermenting, aging on the lees for years—however long they need to get their signature energy and poise, sans sulfur. The labels on his wines also change every year, with his or his daughter Juliette’s painting or photographs taking center stage.
