Productinformation
Winemaker Marie-Ange Robin is the fourth generation of winemakers in the family. It was her father Guy who, plot by plot, bought and planted Chablis vineyards in the 1950s and 1960s - at the time, many winemakers left Chablis because viniculture in this cold region was too difficult. But it was Marie-Ange who took the winery to great heights.
Domaine Guy Robin boasts a rich, if not the richest, collection of old vines. About 80% of the wine from the vines - spread across five grand crus and four premier crus are 'Vieilles Vignes'.
These old vines, and traditional vinification methods ensure that there are few Chablis wines with as much character, concentration and complexity as Marie-Ange's wines. The wines are across the board; seductive, rich and unctuous.
Vaillons is one of the most famous Chablis premier cru vineyards. Vaillons is 15ha but as much as 120ha if you include the subdivisions: Beugnons, Chatains, Epinottes, Les Lys, Mélinots, Roncières and Sécher. The upper parts of vaillons are on thinner soils and make classic dry Chablis, lower down we have wines with a more exotic character.
Domaine Guy Robin's vineyards are in the lieu-dits 'Beugnons' and 'Mélinots', in the south-west of Vaillons and were planted in the 1950s and 1960s. The wine is broad and fruitig but no less refined! Silky smooth on the palate with intense citrus aromas.
