Antoine Robles
Mantry, Jura

While 2026 marks only the third vintage for Antoine Robles, the fervor for his wines has remained at a fever pitch since before he even began releasing his bottles in 2025. After spending time with Robles, it’s easy to understand why—hIs wines are mûre yet lithe, and full of a giving and youthful energy just like Antoine himself. A native of Doubs, Robles worked for Antoine Lienhardt in Burgundy before installing his own domaine in Mantry, about 20 minutes south of Arbois. It’s here in a very unexpected industrial cellar and domicile where Robles takes his Bourgogne pedigree and turns it into something much more relevant, alive and robust; a vision of the Jura that stays rooted and yet looks to the future in excitingly improvised ways. Antoine grows Savagnin, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Poulsard and Trousseau in the Clos des Vallières, a 3.5 hectare clos that produces wines with grand potential, and yet with Antoine’s cellar hand and young vigor, the results are bottles that feel completely unpretentious. These are joyous wines and a stark contrast to the many self-serious bottles one can easily find elsewhere in the Jura. Anyone reading this probably already knows it, but Antoine is one to watch, and to drink... if you can find a bottle.
