  • A.E. Dor Pineau Blanc
    MAISON A.E. DOR PINEAU DES CHARENTES BLANC Maison A.E. Dor was founded in 1858 as a family-run Cognac house dedicated to producing some of the world’s finest distilled spirits. Through generations, this has remained the work of this firm, currently run by the Pierre-Antoine Rivière, who succeeded his father, Jacques, 10 years ago. Experience, talent, dedication and the gift of time now contribute to this offering of Cognacs ranging from the smooth Selection VS to the more than century-old #11. While the family vineyards are given over to the production of an amazing range of Pineau des Charentes, the Rivière’s are master blenders and purchase grapes for distillation or young Cognac for ageing and blending in their cellars. At every level of quality, VS, VSOP, XO, the Cognacs of A.E. Dor are aged well beyond the legal minimums, giving their Cognacs great depth of aroma and flavor and a remarkably mellow character. Region: Charente Appellation: Pineau des Charentes Owner: Pierre-Antoine Rivère Established: 1858 Farming Practices: Sustainable Grape Varieties: Colombard Age of Spirits: 5 years (minimum requirement is 1 year aging) Distillation and Aging: Pineau des Charentes is in the Vin de Liquor category of French aperitifs and after dinner drinks. It is made by combining unfermented grape juice with finished Cognac, for a spirit that is just under 20% alcohol with a touch of fruitiness. Pineau des Charentes has a minimum aging requirement of one year; A.E. For ages their for 5 years. Tasting Notes: Notes of fresh grape juice and Cognac are combined with a lovely caramel/fig quality from the 5 years of aging.

  • Domaine Chiroulet – Famille Fezas
    DOMAINE CHIROULET – FAMILLE FEZAS FLOC DE GASCOGNE ROSÉ AOC Gascony is one of the most picturesque wine regions in France with its medieval villages, temperate climate and distant views of the Pyrenees. The estate is nestled in the highest elevated hillside of the “Ténarèze”, the central district of the Armagnac region where you find the highest concentration of active limestone. Philippe Fezas carries a 150 years old family tradition of producing Armagnac, the oldest brandy in France. Floc de Gascogne, even though a recent Appellation dating from 1990, comes from an old Gacogne traditional recipe dating from the 16th century. Floc, which mean Bouquet of Flowers in Occitan dialect, fall into the “Mistelle” category, like Pineau des Charentes in the neighbor Cognac, which are fortified sweet wine. The main difference with Port or Vermouth is that the base alcohol is not bought from outside purveyor but come from indigenous grapes distilled at the estate before its become Armagnac after decades of ageing. Like Philippe loves to say, his “Floc” provides a “Summary” of all what the estate produce, the combination of grape growing and distillation. ARIETAL V For the Brandy: Ugni Blanc, Colombard For the grape Juice: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Tannat VINIFICATION 1/3 of “Blanches d’Armagnac” (Freshly distilled colorless “Eau de vie” or brandy) and 2/3 of fresh grape juice. The brandy still warm from the “Alembic” (Alchemical still) is poured into a tank at the beginning of the harvest and the fresh grape juice is added after each day of harvest according to the maturity of each grape.

  • Le Pineau Des Charentes Stéphane Macaire Et Karine Machefert (Les Éfournigeas)
    Le coin des fines goules : le pineau des Charentes Stéphane Macaire et Karine Machefert (Les Éfournigeas) Le pineau des Charentes est une boisson alcoolisée de type vin de liqueur de qualité obtenue par mélange de moût (c'est-à-dire de jus de raisin) et d'eau-de-vie de cognac. Cette boisson est produite dans une région qui contient une partie de la Charente-Maritime et de la Charente. Le pineau des Charentes est une AOC (appellation d'origine contrôlée). Sa fabrication est autorisée uniquement pour les bouilleurs de cru individuels ou les coopératives de producteurs, avec les produits de leur récolte. Mais avant toutes ces réglementations actuelles, chacun produisait son pineau pour sa consommation personnelle avec son moût et son eau de vie faite chez le bouilleur de cru le plus proche voire itinérant. Histoire Selon la légende, le pineau des Charentes est le fruit du hasard et a été créé par un vigneron charentais en 1589. Le vigneron versa par erreur du moût de raisin dans une barrique qui contenait de l'eau de vie de cognac. Croyant tout perdu, il laissa là le fût et s’aperçut, lorsque la barrique fut ouverte quelques années plus tard, que le breuvage était fameux. Le pineau des Charentes était né. Toujours est-il que ce pineau fut, pendant plus de quatre siècles, uniquement produit par les propriétaires pour leur usage personnel. Il fallut la crise de 1929 pour que l’on s’avise de le commercialiser. Les différents pineaux Il existe deux grands types de pineau : blanc et rosé (ou rouge).
