JEAN-PIERRE ROBINOT Le Regard

"Jean-Pierre Robinot’s Le Regard is a wine that whispers rebellion and sings tradition in every sip. Hailing from the Loire Valley, this Pineau d’Aunis beauty comes from 30-year-old organic vines rooted in clay and limestone. Whole-cluster fermented and aged for 15-18 months in old barrels—or sometimes just 9 months in fiberglass for a fresher take—it’s bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfur. Expect a light, spicy red with wild raspberry, cherry, and a dash of white pepper dancing on the palate, framed by earthy herbs and a bright, lively finish. Robinot, a natural wine pioneer who traded his Paris wine bar for the vineyards of Chahaignes, crafts this with patience and soul. Pair it with charcuterie or a sunset—it’s a bottle that demands your attention and rewards your curiosity."
