\"\"<\/a>Marie-Ange Robin was barely a toddler when her parents planted vines by hand in some of Chablis\u2019 top premier cru and grand cru terroirs. Today her vines are some of the oldest in Chablis, prized for their concentrated flavors and aromas. These viticultural treasures form the base of the grand wines of Maison Regain<\/strong>, a new partnership between two of Chablis\u2019 most formidable female talents, Marie-Ange and winemaker Lucie Depuydt of J. Moreau et Fils.<\/p>\n

Marie-Ange Robin was the winemaker at Domaine Guy Robin et Fils, the fourth generation of her family to till the alabaster soils of Chablis. Her parents in the 1950s and 1960s planted the family\u2019s vines, after a series of destructive frosts ran many a vine grower out of this northern wine region. Today Marie-Ange owns some of Chablis\u2019 oldest vines, prized by winemakers for the intensely flavored and aromatic quality of their fruit.<\/p>\n

After decades of successful harvests and world-class wines, Marie-Ange in 2025 decided it was time to retire. Yet she couldn\u2019t sell her family\u2019s land; she knew she had to preserve their labor and their gift, essentially, for wine lovers the world over. She contacted winemaker Lucie Depuydt, a friend since the early 2000s, and Maison Regain was born.<\/p>\n

This unique partnership combines the older-vine fruit from Marie-Ange\u2019s extensive premier cru and grand cru holdings with the serious cellar talents of Lucie Depuydt, who has been head winemaker and enologist at J. Moreau et Fils for nearly two decades. These compelling wines from Chablis\u2019 most hallowed vineyards are beautifully terroir-transparent and thrilling through and through.<\/p>\n

A \u201cregain\u201d (say: reh-gahn) is a traditional song cycle from the Chablis region, typically performed at harvest festivals. The house (maison) Regain is located in the center of Chablis, an 18th century villa with a 14th century wine cellar, ready for visitors to taste these new, exciting wines from two of Chablis\u2019 top talents.<\/p>\n

FARMING & WINEMAKING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marie-Ange Robin practices sustainable farming for all her vineyard holdings, avoiding chemical treatments and following organic practices as much as vintage conditions allow. Some 80% of her family vineyards are planted with older vines; in fact, estate vines in grand cru \u2018Blanchot\u2019 are some of Chablis\u2019 oldest, at 80 to 100 years old.<\/p>\n

Grapes are harvested by hand by Marie-Ange\u2019s team. Winemaker Lucie Depuydt vinifies the wines at the J.Moreau cellars as naturally as possible, with minimal sulfites added during fermentation or maturation. Wines are fermented in temperature-controlled tank on selected yeasts, and moved via gravity to oak barrel, depending on the wine, midway through fermentation; this exposes the wine to some oxygen and ensures fermentation finishes completely and cleanly.<\/p>\n

Wines are aged on fine lees for at least one year, either in tank or oak barrel, and then moved to tank to settle before bottling, for a total of 18 months aging. No more than 20% new oak is used for any of the wines.<\/p>\n

Grower Marie-Ange Robin’s old vines sit at the top of the slope, between premier cru vineyards \u2018Montmains\u2019 and \u2018Vaillons.\u2019 This is the heart of Chablis! So much \u201cbasic\u201d Chablis is grown from miles away from the appellation\u2019s top vineyards, but this wine hails from the same soils as premier crus; it considers grand cru vineyards as its neighbors.<\/p>\n
