Through the hard work of Jo Pithon, its emblematic owner, the Domaine Pithon-Paillé has created a place of choice among the reference domains in Anjou. Its credo? Terroir. Each wine, although made from the same grape variety, expresses itself differently. In these wines, it is the combination of the soils and the climate that works and everything is done to maintain the spirit of sharing. Organic wines.

In the vineyard

Tasting
Pierrebise is a semi-dry with 12 g/L of sugar. It remains light, and the sweetness is now perfectly integrated. Pale yellow color, a nose on fruits and white flowers, and a mouth with a fresh and greedy attack, on notes of yellow and exotic fruits.
Food pairings
Pierrebise will go perfectly with exotic dishes, or fatty poultry. Compared to a sweet wine, it will make a lighter and fresher marriage with pressed or blue-veined cheeses.
