Pineau des Charentes

Pineau des Charentes comes from a simple gesture: cognac is added to fresh grape must, which stops fermentation and keeps the grape's natural sugar. Our organic pineaux come from Normandin-Mercier and age five years in oak casks.

• White, 5 years: notes of vine blossom, peach and fig; as an aperitif, with foie gras or blue cheese
• Rosé, 5 years: plum and chocolate notes; as an aperitif or with a chocolate dessert

Once opened, pineau keeps for about a year, stoppered, in the refrigerator.
