Jeaunaux Robin

A true treasure, a tiny family estate founded in 1964, located in the most southern point of the Cotes de Blancs. This 5.7 hectare estate is now ran by second generation husband and wife, Cyril and Clemence Jeaunaux-Robin. The vineyards is literally their back yard, right behind their children’s play area, thus they have been biodynamic since 2010.

Jeaunaux Robin is headquartered in the village of Talus-Saint-Prix. Named for the Petit Morin River, a tributary of the Marne, this narrow valley has only about 39 hectares of vines, most of them on south-facing slopes a good distance from the riverbanks. Nevertheless, the region can be susceptible to frost, which accounts for higher concentrations of the hardier Pinot Meunier variety.

Cyril uses old oak barrels to vinify around a quarter of the wines, with malolactic fermentation, with the rest in stainless steel, also with malo. If you truly want an exceptional wine with the highest standards of finesse, look no further.
