Tasting Notes
A delicate sweet white wine from the famous region of Coteaux du Layon in the Loire Valley. It's not as concentrated or intense as those from Sauterne, but I think I prefer the style as it's more suitable to the array of desserts people eat these days. If your dessert is fruit-based or light and fluffy and not chocolate this is the kind of wine I'd choose. - 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
