COLOR : Brilliant amber gold.
NOSE : An expressive bouquet where candied fruits (apricot, yellow peach), acacia honey and vanilla open up. With aeration, deeper notes of quince and roasted hazelnut are revealed.
MOUTH : Round and harmonious, with a lovely freshness preserved for its age. The palate unfolds with aromas of yellow fruit, honey, and a touch of sweet spice. The acidity maintains an elegant structure.
FINAL: Long, with candied fruit notes and a hint of emerging rancio. The signature of great aged white Pineau.
AGE STATEMENT : 10 years +
AOC : Pineau des Charentes Blanc
GRAPE VARIETY : Ugni Blanc
AGEING : French oak casks from the Limousin region.
PRODUCTION : the result of blending freshly harvested grape must with young cognac (mutage). The blend is then transferred to oak casks (former cognac casks) for careful ageing.
23-year-old Pineau is best enjoyed very chilled as an aperitif or as a cocktail base.
You will appreciate this Pineau paired with foie gras, a dessert with yellow fruits (tarte tatin, far breton) or a blue cheese. It will also be a perfect partner to a mild cigar or a gourmet coffee.
