How to taste it

Pineau des Charentes is best enjoyed chilled, between 8 and 10°C, in a white wine glass or a flute that allows its aromas to be fully appreciated.

As an aperitif, it can be enjoyed on its own, with a few nibbles, a ripe Charentais melon or fresh goat's cheese.

It also pairs wonderfully with foie gras as a starter, or with indulgent desserts: fruit tart, dark chocolate or crème brûlée for the older cuvées.

Once the bottle is opened, keep it in the refrigerator and enjoy it within the following weeks, to make the most of the richness of its aromas.
