Antoine et Laura Robin (Chablis)

Laurent, the father at this domaine, only began bottling in 2018 (before this the grapes went to the co-operative), just as he was joined in the enterprise by his son Antoine. They have inherited some 14 hectares in total, with a notably high average vine age. (Do remember that in Chablis the more ruthless vignerons grub up their vines about every 20-30 years in the pursuit of high yields).

This year saw Laura, Laurent's daughter, step in and take over from him with her brother Antoine., a change now reflected in the label. The style of the Robin wines is distinct from the wines of Domaine d'Elise and Fourrey, our other two sources in Chablis, with the top cuvées appearing more racy but also more withheld – and needing longer keeping. It should be noted that Chablis had a shocking year. Some producers lost up to 90% of their crop. Sadly we are not able to offer Fourrey En Primeur this year as a result.
