The bold and curious will explore the rich harmony of its flavours and aromas as an aperitif, even with a meal - or, of course, as an after- dinner drink.

Each Pineau des Charentes, whether, red, white or rosé, has a unique palette of flavours influenced by the type of grapes selected. If you like hints of red fruit (raspberries, cherries, blackcurrants) and spices try red or rosé pineau. White Pineau, with its notes of walnuts, dried fruit, honey or vanilla is perfect in summer, drink it well-chilled, neat, with ice or in a cocktail. And for a delightful and unusual accompaniment to cheeses such as roquefort or well-aged comté and foie gras, try an old or very old pineau des Charentes aged for at least 5 to 10 years in oak barrels.

WINES WHITE, ROSÉ AND RED The particular character of Charentais is based on an exceptional climate and particular local conditions: the production bears witness to the successful exploitation of the land. The wide range of grape varieties (merlot and cabernet sauvignon for red, chardonnay and for white) has brought about classic yet also surprising results. The sensory and aromatic profiles of our wines make them accessible for everyone and they share common characteristics. The whites and rosés are fresh and fruity with a lively attack that gives way to a more balanced sensation; the reds present hints of ripe red fruit and offer a fully-rounded flavour.

These were the words of Henri IV and he was speaking of the seventh river of France that over the centuries has largely contributed to the growth of the town and region around Cognac.

Heavy sailing barges - flat- bottomed boats especially conceived for transporting goods - were laden with stone, armaments and cognac which they took to the seaports, returning with, amongst other items, salt from the Ile de Ré. Nowadays, you can still take a trip on a sailing barge from Cognac or St-Simon.
