Robert Parker
"A lovely terroir white vinified by one of the masters of Chenin".
"The 2022 Le Haut de la Garde from Château Pierre-Bises is rather exotic and fruity, with aromas of orchard fruit, spring flowers, pineapple and sweet spices. Moderately heavy and fleshy, the wine is soft, fleshy and long on the palate, with a delicately bitter finish." (Robert Parker 2024).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This 45-hectare vineyard, 80% of which is planted with Chenin, produces all styles of white wine. René vinifies, while his elder brother Christophe works the vines. Not organic, of course, but the soils are worked "their way". In the cellar, the same care prevails, with a variety of vats of all kinds (stainless steel, cement, cylindrical, underground, Stockinger 30-hl wooden vats, etc.), capable of chiseling out nuanced, complex wines. The sweet wines are the estate's great strength, as is the series of savennières (13 hectares), impeccable in their precision. The small rosé and red cuvées are a step below, and the whites tasted this year are too irregular to retain the third BD.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
This 46-hectare estate, born of the merger of two family farms, has been run by René Papin since 2010. An estate particularly renowned for the quality of its white wines, both dry and sweet. Not to be missed.

Rated (guide 2024) 90/100 (Wonderful wine)
About the wine:
The 2022 Le Haut de la Garde from Château Pierre-Bises is rather exotic and fruity, with aromas of orchard fruit, spring flowers, pineapple and sweet spices. Moderately heavy and fleshy, the wine is soft, full-bodied and long on the palate, with a delicately bitter finish.
