Chateau Montifaud Pineau Des Charentes 10yr Old, 75cl, France, 17% ABVBy Winebuyers

Chateau Montifaud Pineau Des Charentes is the result of stopping grape juice fermentation within hours of pressing by blending it with cognac at least one year old. This process, which originally occurred by mistake in 1589, leaves an unmistakable sweetness tempered by a fresh fruit character. The dominant tones range from fresh to gilded straw, then honey, with the gold becoming more intense with age. These are followed by hues of apple green, silver or gold. The aromas include white and yellow fruit, honey and acacia blossom. Ageing in wooden barrels gives notes of ripe and dried fruit, hazelnut, grilled almond, vanilla and buttered toast. This unisex product is made in France and comes in a 75cl size with an ABV of 17%.
