Description
Jean-Pierre Robinot farms a handful of old vineyards in the Loire Valley, on a mosaic of clay, limestone, flint and tuffeau. This quiet corner of the Loire is cooler and wilder than its more famous neighbours, producing wines of tension, energy and unmistakable mineral character.
Beneath the vines lies a network of ancient limestone caves where Robinot ages his wines slowly and patiently. Fermentations can stretch on for months, sometimes years, guided only by the rhythm of the cellar.
L’iris 2020 is a sought after natural wine made with 100% grapes. From what we hear, this shows off its acidity, even with its age. Lemon, some stone fruits and even papaya is what we find here. A banger!
Strictly one per order / let’s share the love.
