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.
The Montmains 1er cru vineyard lies opposite the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards, on the other side of the river. And is a textbook example of Chablis premier cru. Minerality and freshness with penetrating aromas and a mouthful of sunny citrus fruit.
Marie-Ange owns a plot of less than 0.23ha in the lieu-dit Butteaux in the southwest corner of Montmains, vines average 50 years old.
