Pineau des Charentes
Pineau des Charentes is a Vin de Liqueur aperitif
Pineau des Charentes is obtained by blending fresh grape juice and Cognac. As the major component of Pineau des Charentes is Cognac, the AOC Pineau des Charentes zone covers, with rare exceptions, the AOC Cognac zone. Like many recipes, the creation of Pineau des Charentes is the result of an error, of chance (ask the Tatin sisters, or whoever did something stupid in Cambrai). Grape must was mistakenly poured into a barrel still containing Cognac. When this barrel was opened, the result surprised everyone, but the Pineau des Charentes was born. Pineau des Charentes is available in White or Red / Rosé, after blending between grape must and cognac, 12 months of aging in barrels is necessary to obtain the Pineau des Charentes appellation.
There are several mentions of Pineau des Charentes
Pineau des Charentes Vieux (5 years of aging)
Pineau des Charentes Extra Vieux (10 years of aging)
Like the sweet wines of the southwest, a Pineau des Charentes can go wonderfully with a foie gras, a blue cheese or a chocolate dessert, but it is as an aperitif that it is most consumed. .
