PIERRE VALLET PINEAU DES CHARENTES WHITE 17%VOL

WHITE PINEAU DES CHARENTES

THE PROCESS: 

• 50% of Colombard and 50% of Ugni blanc
• A maceration is realized during 36 hours to get the best concentrations of all aromas and give the body to our Pineau des Charentes
• The grape juice (3/4) is blended with (1/4) of eau-de-vie de Cognac (at least 70% volume and 1 year minimum). Adding the eau-de-vie of Cognac with this high alcohol content stops the departure in fermentation, so keeping the natural sugar of the grape
• Aged in French oak casks (roux and old) for much more than the minimum required by the appellation which is 5 years to get the mention "Vieux"
• At the estate
