Family property for more than 100 years, Michel and Francine Forgeron have been passionately developing, since 1965, elegant, authentic products of exceptional quality. From 2ha of vines in 1965, the vineyard has now reached a surface area of 24ha, all of which is located on the Grande Champagne terroir, the most prestigious terroir in the Cognac production area, and within a radius of 5km around the estate. 50 years later, it is the sons of the house Pierre and Christophe Forgeron, who continue to keep the traditions and know-how of the Forgeron family alive. And anchor the house in modernity: sustainable viticulture and renewable energy (first producer in the region to invest in solar energy), offer the house a responsible development.

An alliance of fresh grape juice and cognac brandy, Pineau des Charentes can only be made during the harvest period. The addition of cognac brandy to the grape juice prevents fermentation; Pineau des Charentes is therefore not a COOKED WINE (Banyuls), nor a FORTIFIED WINE (Port). Its sweetness is naturally brought by the grape juice. There is no sulphur added in Michel Forgeron's Pineau des Charentes.
After elaboration, Michel Forgeron Pineau des Charentes is aged in oak barrels for at least 3 years (legal minimum: 1 year) in order to reach the necessary maturity.
Pineau des Charentes Michel Forgeron is the result of a blend of several harvests that have aged between 3 and 7 years for the WHITE PINEAU and RED PINEAU; 10 to 15 years for the OLD WHITE PINEAU.
