Château Pierre Bise - Anjou Le Haut de la Garde 2022
90/100
Robert Parker
"A lovely white wine from the region, produced by one of the masters of Chenin."
"The 2022 Le Haut de la Garde from Château Pierre-Bises is quite exotic and fruity, with aromas of orchard fruits, spring flowers, pineapple, and sweet spices. Moderately weighted and fleshy, the wine is smooth, fleshy, and long on the palate, with a delicately bitter finish." (Robert Parker 2024).

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces all styles of white wine. René makes the wine, while his older brother Christophe works in the vineyards. They don't use organic methods, but the soil is worked "their way." The same care prevails in the cellar, with a variety of vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, 30 hl wooden vats by Stockinger, etc.), suitable for crafting nuanced and complex wines. Sweet wines are the estate's great strength, as is the Savennières series (13 hectares), which is impeccably balanced. The small rosé and red cuvées are a notch below, and the whites tasted this year are too inconsistent to retain the third BD rating.

About the estate:
This 46-hectare estate, created from the merger of two family farms, has been run by René Papin since 2010. It is particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. Not to be missed.
