South West | France | Fortified Wine | 0,75 L | 18 %
About
Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine from the Cognac region, made by blending fresh or lightly fermented grape must (Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc) with Cognac eau‑de‑vie and aging it for at least 5 years in oak. Château de Beaulon’s version offers a refined bouquet of honey and vanilla, a velvety texture, and a sweet‑fresh balance — perfect as an aperitif or dessert companion.
Tasting notes
Clear golden hue. Aromas of white flowers, honey, vanilla sweetness, mandarin peel nuances, and a subtle oak touch. On the palate — fresh, sweet-acid balance with pear and vanilla elegance; smooth, gentle structure and a warm sweet finish.
Pairing
Excellent as an aperitif, particularly with shellfish, delicate seafood, foie gras, or veal. Also pairs beautifully with almond or honey pastries, and gentle coconut desserts.

Ugni Blanc
Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano) white grape variety is one of the most widely planted in the world. It produces good yields, but tends to give very neutral wine. It usually has vivid freshness and fruitiness, but does not keep long.
South West
The wines of southwestern France have a long and controversial history. Local rivers have always played an important role as they have been the main trade routes for the transport of wines from traditional regions such as Cahors, Bergerac, Bouzet and Gaillac to markets. However, the neighboring region of Bordeaux was also influential. Winemakers and castle owners in Bordeaux really disliked the rival region and did everything to overshadow it and prevent it from developing properly. Therefore, many wines from the southwestern part had to fight hard to get to know about them and start including them in the wine lists of restaurants. The soil, climate and landscape of the southwest are as varied as the wines themselves. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea is due to the maritime climate, but there are also areas with a more continental microclimate, where drier and hotter summers prevail.
