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 cuvée offers fruity aromas and freshness, all wrapped up in a full-bodied palate. A rich, balanced wine that, according to the winemaker, pays tribute to the appellation. Beautiful body!

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional 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 the winemaking, while his older brother Christophe tends the vines. 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 vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, buried, 30-hectoliter wooden vats 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.
