Gilles Robin
The wines of Gilles Robin Estate are highly rated internationally and greatly reward those who seek them out. With a family history of winegrowing spanning four generations (Louis Pasquion acquired its first parcels in 1920), Robin started out the way many in the Rhone do: his family sold grapes to the local cooperative. The majority of the estate was planted in the late 1940s by Robin's grandparents and his modest estate now totals 15 hectares, including 1 hectare planted to white varieties and a small parcel of Syrah in St. Joseph. Robin's vines are planted in the stony and sandy "La Terrace de Chassis" district, just south of the hill of Hermitage. Robin distinguishes himself from other Crozes producers by farming his plots organically, believing this to be the best way in which to honestly give voice to the terroir.
