Florian Roblin, trained by Alphonse Mellot junior, rapidly made his own marks in the tiny and quite un-known appellation Coteaux du Giennois. He inherited three hectares of land planted with cereals in 2005. Actually, his grand-father had a passion for wine and just some vines planted in a plot called Champ Gibault.

Presentation
Champ Gibault comes from a parcel of clay and flint, planted only with Sauvignon.
Location
At this particular plot, Florian started his adventure as a winemaker and
decided to plant the complete land with vines : Pinot Noir, Gamay and Sauvignon blanc.
In just a few vintages (first one released in 2008, 400 bottles in total), he is now considered as the raising star in Loire, making the appellation of Coteaux du Giennois shine! Florian will have the organic certification in 2021.
