In the early noughties, the wine bar Le Verre Volé and merchant La Cave des Papilles began drawing in a new wave of pilgrims seeking out vin naturel. These institutions had been preceded by L’Ange Vin, a bistro opened by Jeanne-Pierre Robinot, who closed the restaurant after embarking, in 2001, on his journey to become the cult Loire winemaker he is today. A few other natural-wine focused restaurants opened in the 1990s but it was this third wave that instigated a thriving wine-bar scene.
