The phrase 'natural wine legend' is sometimes overused, but the moniker certainly applies to Jean-Pierre Robinot. Having founded the famous Paris wine bar L’Ange Vin and France’s premier Natural Wine journal Le Rouge et le Blanc, he now makes incredible wine in the Loire across two appellations, Jasnières and the Coteaux-du-Loir. Farming is biodynamic, vinification is slow and patient but always worth the wait. 

L'Iris is Chenin Blanc from some of JP's oldest vines, up to ninety years of age. This bottling was pressed straight to barrel for three years of élevage, rendering a wine of staggering depth and complexity. From a blockbuster vintage, it carries a little gas on opening, with air revealing ripe stone fruits and a deep, stony minerality. A wine of profound energy and seemingly eternal youth, which will reward drinkers for many years to come.
