PINEAU DES CHARENTES PIERRE VALLET WHITE

Grape variety: White Pineau 50% of Colombard and 50% of Ugni blanc

Maceration: A maceration is realized during 36 hours (48 hours for red Pienau) to get the best concentrations of all aromas and give the body to our Pineau des Charentes. Mutage:

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

Ageing: 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"

Bottling: at the estate

The Profile A lovely blend (17%vol) of grape juice and eau-de-vie at high strenght of alcohol, aged in french oak casks for many years. Colombard gives persistence and a delicate fruity taste Ugni- blanc gives finesse, elegance and little acidity. The blend of these two varieties find a perfect matching balance!
