DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Maison Ferrand, the Cognac house behind Pierre Ferrand Cognac, makes this Pineau des Charentes in France's Cognac region.
Pineau is made by blending unfermented grape juice with young Cognac eau-de-vie, roughly three parts juice to one part spirit, both from the same harvest. Ferrand then ages it in oak for at least 12 months, 18 months in total. The result is 17% alcohol, sweet but fresh. Expect peach, plum and prune, with honey, quince and toasted nuts. Some acidity from the grape juice keeps it from feeling heavy.
In Cognac, Pineau is kept in the fridge and served cold when guests arrive. Serve it at 45 to 50°F in a small wine glass as an aperitif. It pairs well with a cheese plate, foie gras or melon. Bartenders also use it in place of vermouth with rum, rye or bourbon.
Bottle size: 750ml
