The concept for L'Angevin Wines is to seek out mature vineyards in cool climates and combine them with diligent vineyard care and classical winemaking techniques. L'Angevin began as a joint venture between Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer who met at Peter Michael Winery where Robbie was the enologist and assistant winemaker, and Alan was the estate/project manager. Joining the venture in 2002, making L'Angevin an entirely family business are Lesley Warner-Peirson and Shannon Meyer.
L’Angevin, Robbie’s mother’s family name, was the obvious choice when we selected a name for our endeavor. The name could serendipitously be separated into the French words Ange (angel) and Vin (wine), giving us “angel wine.” Actually, the name is derived from the Old French Andegavia referring to the winegrowing region of Anjou, France where Robbie’s ancestors lived.
The three red squares originate from Alan Peirson’s art history background and his interest in Asian printmaking. In Alan’s own clay work and sculptures of clay, wood, stone and bronze, his signature is three stamped squares.
