Tasting Notes
One of my favourite entry level Cabernet Franc's in the world. It's so representative of the schiste soils from which it comes. Beautiful sumptuous fruit accompanied by a savoury stone-like minerality. My go to red at the moment. - Chris L
Claude and Joelle Papin-Chevalier started Chateau Pierre Bise thirty years ago. Claude Papin (a former President of the Technical Institute of the Vine and of Wine) and his wife are the most polemic defenders of the Anjou terroir, being perhaps unsurprisingly very good friends with Marcel Deiss from Alsace. They control over 32 hectares of vines, producing a vast array of single parcel whites, reds and sweet wines. However, it is his sweet wines for which he is most famous, and in particular those from the Côteaux du Layon. - Importer Note
