Château Pierre Bise - Anjou Villages Clos de Coulaine 2016

Anjou Villages|Red wine

3.8/5 (5 customers)

The first Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted on the Coulaine plot in 1942. With its sandy and schist soils, the Anjou Villages Clos de Coulaine expresses fruity aromas and freshness, all wrapped up in a full-bodied palate. A rich, balanced wine that, according to the winemaker, pays homage to the appellation. Beautiful body!

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This 45-hectare vineyard—80% of which is planted with Chenin—produces a wide range of white wines. René handles winemaking, while his older brother Christophe tends the vineyards. They aren’t organic, to be sure, but the soil is worked “their own way.” In the cellar, the same meticulous care prevails, with a variety of tanks of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30-hl wooden tanks by Stockinger…), suited to crafting nuanced and complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate’s greatest strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), impeccably balanced.
