    The Meeting of Roundness and Elegance

    "Beautiful amber color with golden tints, it offers a powerful aromatic nose, with subtle hints of ripe yellow fruits like apricot, honey and raisins, spice and flowers, oranges ! It is pleasantly sweet and refreshing with a great harmony between grape flavours and Cognac aromas. Intense, elegant and distinguished, this Pineau is the inimitable meeting of roundness and elegance that makes it one of the most famous ambassadors of its appellation. Always served chilled, the Pineau d’Orignac is not only delicious as an aperitif ; it is also excellent with meals and desserts and very good with cheese too."
    -Yvan Meyer (Vinificateur and Oenologist)

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    The process behind Pineau des Charentes is both simple and precise. Freshly pressed grape must - still rich in natural sugar - is blended with Cognac eau-de-vie. This addition of alcohol stops the fermentation before it can begin, preserving the sweetness of the juice.The result is a naturally sweet wine, balanced by the strength and structure of the spirit. After blending, the Pineau is aged in oak barrels, where it develops complexity, roundness, and depth over time.
