Pineau des Charentes rouge

Reference

Charentes / France (Cognac region)

Tasting Notes

Dark cherry, Cognac warmth, plum, cassis, leather, dried fig, warm oak, dark chocolate. Red Pineau should taste like Port's French cousin — same sweetness and power, but with Cognac's floral eau-de-vie character underneath.
